第3話 A little hope in my heart

"Please let me see your proof." This lieutenant colonel is really rigid. "Yes." Yierlan Si was not angry, after all, this is his duty, so he took out the silver pocket watch in his pocket and handed it to Lieutenant Colonel Reis. Lieutenant

  Colonel Reis took a closer look and handed the silver pocket watch to Yierlan Si, "Confirmed, then Miss Hoynent, please come with me." He made a gesture of invitation. "Okay." Yierlan Si followed this guy briskly. He looked back and forth as he walked. "You are really shabby here." Whether it is the Central Command or the Eastern Command, it is much smoother and more beautiful than here.

  "We are not using taxpayers' money to do this kind of face-saving project." Hearing Yilansi say this, Reis felt worse about the little girl, and there was a hint of anger in his words.

  "Really?" Yilansi did not comment. He really had not seen many troops who really did practical things for the people.

  Reis heard Yilansi's doubts, and his heart became even angrier. He walked into the office without saying anything. "Cohen, copy the list and address of alchemists in Tapris to Miss National Alchemist." After entering the room, he said to the young man who was struggling in the copywriting.

  "Yes, Lieutenant Colonel." The young man wore very heavy glasses. Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Reis's order, he answered quickly. He took off his glasses, stood up, and kept searching in the bookcase behind him. "Ah, I found it." The young man named Cohen took out a dozen papers from a file bag and quickly copied them.

  Yilansi did not need Lieutenant Colonel Reis to say anything, and sat down on a chair beside him. After Lieutenant Colonel Reis entered the room, he ignored the national alchemist and did not even offer him a cup of coffee. He sat directly in his seat and began to handle official business. Yilan Si smiled slightly. Well, he was really good, but he was too sharp and did not know how to be restrained. She became very interested in this lieutenant colonel. After all, it was rare to find an officer who truly served the people.

  Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!

  At this time, footsteps came quickly, and the soldier at the door rushed in without even reporting. "Lieutenant Colonel, there is an emergency outside!" "What's the situation!?" Lieutenant Colonel Reis was a little unhappy when he saw the soldier rushing in without reporting, but when he heard that there was an emergency, he immediately threw away the displeasure and stood up in a hurry.

  "The coal mine on the edge of the city suddenly collapsed! More than a dozen miners are trapped inside!" The soldier said quickly.

  "Go! Gather!" Lieutenant Colonel Reis rushed out of the office immediately after hearing this.

  "Oh?" Yilansi looked at Lieutenant Colonel Reis who was walking away, and then looked at Cohen. "I say, Cohen, is your superior always so impetuous?" "Our superior is a very good person, but he has a bad temper." Cohen answered without raising his head.

  "Aren't you going?" Yilansi saw Cohen still sitting there, so she asked.

  "I want to go, but I can't." Cohen put his hand down and moved. When he left the table, Yilansi found that the young man had a broken leg. "So I have to deal with as many documents as possible here."

  "Why don't you install a mechanical prosthesis?" Yilansi asked in confusion.

  "I don't have that much money. The lieutenant colonel also wants me to install a mechanical prosthesis, but he is not rich either." Cohen smiled bitterly, "He has sponsored several orphans himself. After supporting those orphans, there is not much left of the monthly allowance. And I just have enough for my own life..."

  Yilansi was also sad after hearing this. There are also unfortunate things everywhere in this world. She stood up and took a piece of paper. "How much will it cost to install the mechanical prosthesis and the recovery period?" she asked. "About 100,000." Cohen answered subconsciously.

  Yierlan Si wrote something on the note and handed her silver pocket watch to Cohen. "Take my certificate and silver pocket watch to the National Alchemist Agency and withdraw this amount from my research funds." She smiled and said to Cohen, "This is my reward for you. I think 150,000 should be enough for you to install the mechanical prosthesis?"

  "Reward?" Cohen was stunned.

  "Yes, you helped me copy the list of alchemists in this city, so of course I have to reward you." Yierlan Si stuffed the note and silver pocket watch into Cohen's hand.

  "No!" Cohen said excitedly, "I am doing my job! You can't be like this! I..."

  "If you feel guilty or something for spending my money, then after you install the mechanical prosthesis and can walk freely, please try to be a good officer who cares about the people." Yierlan Si took a few steps back quickly, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'm going to the coal mine where the landslide happened. After all, I am spending taxpayers' money, so I should do some good things." After that, he waved his hand and disappeared in a flash.

  "Wind Alchemist? Yierlan Si Hoinent." Cohen looked at the silver pocket watch in his hand, and then recalled the appearance of the girl just now, "Ah-! No way!" He suddenly shouted, "How old is she? She actually became a national alchemist!" It's really... perverted!

  Yierlan Si left the office and went directly to the gate to ask the soldiers who were still standing guard there. "Excuse me, where is the coal mine that collapsed just now?" "From here, follow the main road and you will be out of Tapris." The soldier said rudely.

  "Wow, it's so far." Yierlansi complained, "Well, can you lend me a car?"

  "Sorry, the military does not lend out vehicles." The soldier answered in a very formal way.

  "How can I get to the coal mine then?" Yierlansi pouted. Do you want me to go there on a skateboard? That's too slow. I can't make my own alchemy in the city. "I'm a state alchemist. I want to go there to help. Can you make an exception?" She said.

  "Can you really help?" The soldier looked at Yierlansi suspiciously. If the guy just took out a silver pocket watch from his pocket and Lieutenant Colonel Reis brought a little girl into the barracks, he really doubted whether this guy was a liar. No, even now he can hardly believe that this little girl is actually an alchemist, and a state alchemist.

  "I haven't been there, how can I know?" Yierlan Si shrugged. The collapse of the coal mine is not something that can be easily solved. "But I'm a national alchemist, so I still have certain abilities." "

  ...Okay then!" The soldier hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and finally agreed. He ran into the barracks and came back soon. "Where's the car?" Yierlan Si asked curiously. "It'll be there soon." The soldier replied, "I hope you can help."

  "Yes, yes." Yierlan Si smiled and nodded. At this time, the car had already driven out, so she got in the car by herself, "Okay, let's go to the coal mine as soon as possible." The driver didn't say anything, stepped on the accelerator, and flew out in an instant. "Wow, you are awesome!" Yierlan Si's driving skills are also great. Seeing the driver's movements, you can clearly recognize that this guy's driving skills must be quite good.

  Half an hour later, the car arrived at the scene of the incident. There, more than 200 soldiers were busy cleaning up the rubble, hoping to get the dozen miners trapped in the mine out as soon as possible. Lieutenant Colonel Reis was commanding the soldiers while also moving the stones with all his strength. "Thank you." Yierlan Si opened the car door, walked out, jumped back and forth between the big stones, and soon came to Lieutenant Colonel Reis.

  "Tell all the soldiers and other personnel to leave, and then call the engineer of this coal mine over." Yierlan Si came here, without any politeness, and said directly to Lieutenant Colonel Reis. "Why do you do this?" Lieutenant Colonel Reis said angrily, this guy actually came here to cause trouble!

  "If you don't leave here, I can't guarantee your safety when I perform alchemy." Yierlansi was not angry. She knew that the other party had a bad impression of her. It was difficult for a person to change his prejudice against another person. "In addition, if the coal mine engineer doesn't come, I won't know the correct entrance and tunnel of this mine, which will make it difficult for me to perform alchemy to save people."

  "You...you can save them?" Lieutenant Colonel

  Reis was a little surprised. "If you want." Yierlansi said calmly.

  "All soldiers listen, leave the landslide area immediately, and the engineers here, please come immediately!" Reis heard it and issued an order immediately without any hesitation. However, his order made all the soldiers, the families of the miners and other miners very confused and angry.

  "Why? Lord Reis? Aren't you going to save the miners trapped in the mine?" Many people shouted.

  "No, it's the Wind Alchemist who came to help!" Lieutenant Colonel Reis saw that these people had misunderstood and said hurriedly.

  After this explanation, people's emotions calmed down a little. Soon, the engineer here came running over panting, holding a map in his hand, which was the map of the mine. "Tell me the location of the wellhead!" Yierlan Si said hurriedly. She saw that the soldiers and relatives of the miners here were looking at her with hope, and suddenly felt that the burden on her shoulders was very heavy.

  "It's here. The collapse is the No. 3 well, which is the largest mine." The engineer pointed to a direction of the collapse and said. "It's probably at this location."

  "Okay, everyone leave!" Yierlan Si came to the place where the collapse occurred and asked those people to leave first. After seeing that there was no one, he put his hands together and a very shining alchemical light flashed. In less than three seconds, the wellhead of the mine was restored to its original state.

  

Chapter 35, rescue success

  "Follow me, we will explore inside!" Yierlan Si said to the engineer next to him. "Oh, oh, okay." The engineer was already a little dumbfounded. Apart from him, most of the people present were a little stunned. After all, alchemists were not particularly common, and even if they were seen, they might not have such abilities.

  "Hurry up, what are you still stunned about?" Yierlan Si patted the engineer and walked into the mine. The engineer came to his senses and hurriedly followed with a mining lamp.

  "This place is connected to the ventilation hole, and there is drainage." The engineer said to Yierlan Si very responsibly.

  "Okay." Yierlan Si did not say much, and directly used alchemy to refine it back to its original state, and also added a lot of pillars. Alchemists are also scientists, and they are very familiar with mechanics. They still know how to withstand more force.

  After walking for about half an hour, Yierlan Si repaired nearly forty or fifty broken places of all sizes, and finally realized that the extent of the mine collapse was more serious than the image, so he began to carve the alchemy array on the wall. "Master Alchemist, what are you doing?" The engineer asked cautiously.

  "Blow a breeze into the mine." Yierlan Si answered. "I hope the dust in this mine is not serious, otherwise even if the people inside are not suffocated, there will be a dust explosion."

  "What should we do then?" The engineer's face turned pale. If there is an explosion, he will definitely not survive.

  "So I guess we should blow a breeze inside." Yierlan Si pressed the refining array, and a faint light flashed. "The amount of oxygen brought in this way is not very large. Without enough oxygen and without sparks, there will be no explosion." She turned her head and said to the engineer, "Don't worry, even if there is an explosion, I have the ability to protect you."

  "Really? That's great." The engineer wiped his sweat and let out a long breath.

  The breeze has begun to blow inside. Huh, although it is only a small refining array, this type of continuous activation is really tiring. But there is no other way. Even if it is a little tiring, it is better than losing more than a dozen lives inside.

  "Okay. Let's move on!" Yierlan Si turned her head and said to the engineer. "Okay, there is a fork in the road not far ahead." The engineer looked at the blueprint. "Going straight is the old mine, but it has been abandoned because there is no coal there. Going to the left is the new coal mine. I think they should all be in that direction. The end of the No. 3 shaft is in front." "

  Okay." Yierlan Si used alchemy to refine the broken stones in front of her to the wall and set up a pillar. Then he walked in first. "It's too dark inside, be careful!" The engineer shouted hurriedly from behind. "It's okay, I can see." Yierlan Si answered casually. Her night vision ability is very good, which is probably related to her practicing martial arts left by her father since she was a child. Now that she has become a man-made person, her already good night vision ability has become even better.

  "How is this possible?" The engineer muttered in the innermost.

  "Wow, what a big space." Yierlan Si saw that it was very large inside, and it seemed that she had reached the innermost part, because she had seen the end of the mine car track. "Hey, everyone, are you still there?" "Is anyone here?" A very weak voice said, "Come and help, Bruun was crushed by a rock, we can't get him out, and we don't know what's going on with him now."

  "Okay." Yierlan Si followed the sound and found that there were more than a dozen miners gathered there. More than a dozen mining lamps made the place quite bright. More than a dozen people gathered together, and seemed to be doing something carefully. When she got closer, she found that one of the miners was crushed under the stone. Fortunately, there was a stone next to him, otherwise this guy would have died. But even so, this guy was still weak at this time. "Get out of the way!" Yierlan Si walked over and used alchemy to refine the stone to one side, turning it into a pillar.

  "Are you an alchemist?" One of them said in surprise.

  "Well, don't talk. There's a lack of oxygen in here. It's better to keep quiet." Yierlan Si nodded, then checked the body of the miner who had just been rescued. "It's very bad. We must rescue him quickly. He has several broken ribs." She raised her head and said, "I can connect his ribs, but I can't do anything about his internal organs."

  "If the track is not broken..." said one of the miners.

  "I have fixed it." Yierlan Si said, "But it is better for you to carry him out or carry him out. If you use a mine cart, the vibration will make his injury worse." After that, she used alchemy to connect the miner's ribs, and then stood up. At this time, the engineer also walked in breathlessly. "Okay, let's get out quickly. I will slowly increase the ventilation and blow out the dust here." She said to the engineer.

  "Oh, okay!" The engineer nodded and helped up the miner who was a little exhausted.

  "Those who still have strength can take him and walk quickly," Yierlan Si pointed at the injured miner and said, "Those who don't have strength should walk slower and breathe more slowly, so that they can survive longer. You guys can take turns after walking for a while, so that you can carry the injured out faster." The air here is really thin, and it's really uncomfortable to have no ventilation for a long time. "I'll carve a few more alchemy arrays here to blow air outside, you go first." Yierlan Si walked to a place that was not in the way, found a stone, and began to carve alchemy arrays on the ground.

  Several miners lifted the injured miner and began to walk quickly. Yierlan Si saw that everyone had slowly walked out, so she activated the alchemy array. "Huh, I can't hold on any longer." Yi'erlan Si also felt a wave of suffocation. This was the first time I was glad that I was a man-made man...

  Ha, when did this become a benefit? Yi'erlan Si smiled bitterly, and then seemed to be taking steps to leave the mine.

  "What happened inside?" The soldier next to Reis looked at the mine anxiously, but he didn't dare to go in rashly without the instructions of his superiors. "Well, wait a little longer!" Reis was also very anxious, but he also knew that it would be useless for them to go in now. "If they still don't come out in ten minutes, we will organize a search and rescue team to go in."

  At this time, several miners in black came out first, and they seemed to be carrying someone on their backs. Then, the remaining miners also filed out, and finally followed the engineer.

  "Long live!" More than 200 soldiers, miners who were not trapped outside, and the miners' families cheered, and immediately ran over to support those miners, and then put the injured miner on the stretcher that had been prepared long ago.

  "Where is that alchemist?" Reis didn't remember Yierlansi's name at all, which led to the point where he wanted to ask but didn't know how to ask. "I'm here." Yierlansi also walked out of the mine. There was a lot of coal dust on her body, but she looked dignified, at least much better than the engineer who was almost as dark as the miner. Although the engineer was holding a mining lamp, he also fell several times.

  "Thank you so much!" Reis saw Yierlansi walked out safely, and saluted the national alchemist who had just been looked down upon by him very solemnly. Following Reis's action, the remaining soldiers all saluted the young national alchemist.

  "You are a real national alchemist!" Reis said excitedly.

  "Haha, don't let other national alchemists hear these words!" Yierlansi said with a smile, "If they want to make things difficult for you, you will lose your job as a lieutenant colonel."

  "If I don't want to do it, I won't do it," Lieutenant Colonel Reis showed an indifferent expression. "Those state alchemists are not worthy of the word 'state' in their names. They should serve the public. How many of them serve the public?!"

  "That's true." Yilansi patted the shoulder of Lieutenant Colonel Reis, who was much taller than him. "But if that happens, Tapris will lose a good officer who truly serves the people. If that happens, don't you feel guilty?" Knowing that the other party was much older than him, it was not easy to teach him a lesson, so Yilansi had to ask indirectly. That means, if you really want to think about the people here, then you have to control your mouth and be more restrained.

  "This..." Lieutenant Colonel Reis was stunned by the question.

  "Okay, you will think about it yourself." Yilansi said, "I wonder if Lieutenant Colonel Reis can prepare a place for me to take a shower now? I don't want the teacher to carry so much coal dust."

  "Uh, sorry." Lieutenant Colonel Reis showed a hint of embarrassment on his rigid face.

  "Okay, I don't mind." Yi'erlansi shook her hair that was covered with coal dust. "If I were really so petty, I would definitely go to that Bright and complain about you."

  "Bright? You mean the president?" Lieutenant Colonel Reis said in surprise. He still had great respect for the president who fought his way to the position of president in the midst of war. "Yes, of course it's him." Yi'erlansi realized that this officer still respected the president very much, and it was better for this person not to know some things, so she changed her words and said, "He is a very generous person, worthy of being the head of this country." She said it as if she was very familiar with the president.

  "Are you familiar with the president?" Lieutenant Colonel Reis followed Yi'erlansi to the military vehicle, opened the door, and let Yi'erlansi in.

  "Well, it's not bad." Yi'erlansi got into the car and answered. "Okay, find me a place to take a shower and rest. I have to go find Fullmetal Alchemist Edward." She gritted her teeth and said, "This kid didn't even give me the address." This guy didn't know that it was because he suddenly jumped off the train that Edward was caught off guard.

 

Chapter 36, Looking for the Little Steel Bean

  After taking a beautiful shower, Yierlan Si put on the replacement clothes made by alchemy and leisurely came to Lieutenant Colonel Reis's office. "Yo!" She saw Lieutenant Colonel Reis working hard, so she greeted him. Cohen on the side was also writing furiously. "You are all busy."

  "Oh, it's Miss Hoynnt." When Lieutenant Colonel Reis saw Yierlansi coming, he changed his indifference in the morning, because Yierlansi won the recognition of the officer with her actions. "Thank you so much for the coal mine! If it weren't for your help, the dozen miners would have suffocated to death if they were not crushed to death."

  "Nothing." Yierlansi smiled, "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, this is normal." (It seems that everyone knows the source of this sentence, right?)

  "Anyway, I still have to thank you." Lieutenant Colonel Reis saluted again, "I have sent someone to find the master of Fullmetal Alchemist, and there will probably be results this afternoon." "Thank you very much." Yierlansi nodded and thanked her. If she came to find it herself, it would probably take a long time. "Um, Cohen." She turned to the young man, "Did you withdraw the money?" Reis was a little dazed, not knowing what was going on.

  Cohen did not raise his head and hesitated for a long time. "Well, I'm sorry." He said, "I can't spend your money, I..." "Pah!" He was slapped in the face before he finished speaking. Cohen raised his head in panic, but found Yilansi with a very ugly face.

  "Do you think I'm giving you the money for installing the mechanical prosthesis?" Yierlan Si was fed up with this pedantic guy. She hated this kind of guy the most. "After you install the mechanical prosthesis, you can fight like an ordinary soldier! You can come to maintain law and order. Listen, you are not allowed to refuse!" She said viciously, "You know it's very rude to refuse a girl! And I'm a state alchemist. If this matter is known to others, do you want me to become a laughing stock? So that others will say, 'The Alchemist of the Wind used his hot cheek to stick to Cohen's butt!'?" Her words were quite impolite.

  "I'm not that..." Cohen was a little panicked.

  "If you want to be a good soldier with achievements, just obey me." Yilansi put his right hand on the table and approached Cohen, "If you refuse, I will throw you into the river directly. Anyway, the national alchemist is equivalent to the major of the military. Even if I kill you, no one will say anything!"

  "I say, Miss Hoint. You are..." "What? Do you have any objections!" Yilansi interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Reis and glared at the uncle with a vicious look, making the uncle shut up obediently. "Although the operation is very painful and the recovery period takes a long time, I think as a soldier you should be able to bear it, right? Or are you afraid and dare not?" Yilansi deliberately showed a mocking expression on his face.

  "I..." Cohen was not a fool. He could see that Yierlansi's threats and the expression of mockery were all faked in order to install a mechanical prosthesis for him so that he could walk on his own feet one day. His eyes became red and his eyes became wet. "Thank you, I will never let you down. I will definitely become a good soldier and then come to see you!" These words sounded a bit awkward, but Cohen, who was being moved, did not notice them.

  "See... me?" Yierlansi's first word was very loud, and later it could be compared to the sound of a mosquito. She suddenly found herself very close to the face of the young soldier. She hurriedly left the table and sat in the chair by the window, facing outside, with her back to Cohen. "Then you should quickly install the mechanical prosthesis." This sentence was said a bit awkwardly. Although Lieutenant Colonel Reis had a bad temper and

  spoke his mind, it did not mean that he was a fool. On the contrary, this guy was also a smart person. After all, there were not many fools who could get to the position of Lieutenant Colonel. He looked at Cohen's touching face and Yilansi's embarrassed and shy look, and he really wanted to shout. "This is youth!" Of course, in order to avoid being silenced by someone, he chose to shout in his heart. At this time, Cohen also realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now, and hurriedly lowered his head.

  As if he had noticed someone's sinister thoughts, Yilansi's murderous eyes swept directly to Lieutenant Colonel Reis. Lieutenant Colonel Reis's sweat immediately fell from his forehead. The other party was a national alchemist, and it seemed that he must be very good at fighting. It seemed that he had to find an excuse to leave here quickly, otherwise his life would be in danger. "Oh, right." He suddenly stood up, "Well, I'll go for Cohen, after all, he's not convenient now."

  "Is it okay? Lieutenant Colonel Reis, aren't you very busy?" Cohen took out the silver pocket watch and the note in confusion.

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Lieutenant Colonel Reis took the things and disappeared in an instant.

  There were only two people left in the office, and the atmosphere became more awkward. "Well, I'll go out for a walk!" Finally, Yierlan Si ran away quickly. Only Cohen was left looking at her back, his eyes flashing with countless stars.

  Damn it! Yierlan Si wandered around the military camp and reflected on herself. Although I usually make good use of women's rights and charm, it doesn't mean that I am really a woman? Why am I like this? Oh my God! Yierlan Si seemed to be crazy and frantically messed up her hair with her hands, then thought of the sky and shouted hard, expressing her depression. Forget it, as long as I live happily, I don't bother to think about those messy things. What man, woman, life is only a few decades, even if I am a man-made person, I can live several times longer than ordinary people, but it's only three or four hundred years. Why think about those troubles? Just have fun.

  Thinking of this, Yierlan Si was like a proud cat, and her playfulness stood up high. For her, happiness is the most important thing.

  When Yierlansi returned to the office, Lieutenant Colonel Reis had already returned and was listening to a soldier's report. After seeing Yierlansi enter, he walked over. "Here is your silver pocket watch, and I have already taken out the money. Thank you on behalf of Cohen!" he said, "I have always wanted to install a mechanical prosthesis for Cohen, but the combination of my allowance and Cohen's allowance may not be enough even if I wait a few more years, so I didn't mention it again. If it weren't for you, I think he would never have the chance to walk on his own feet again in his life... Anyway, thank you so much."

  "Okay, okay, I'm not as great as you say." Yi'erlansi smiled, "I'm just satisfying my own desires and vanity. At least I want others to know that I, the Wind Alchemist Yi'erlansi#8226;Hoynent, am not a running dog of the army, that's all." After she said this, she realized that the two guys in front of her were also from the army, so she smiled awkwardly, "You are still very good, I didn't say you were bad."

  "It doesn't matter. In fact, we don't have a good impression of most state alchemists." Lieutenant Colonel Reis replied, "However, you give me a little hope for state alchemists."

  "Don't have too much hope." Yilansi shook her head gently, as if she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, what happened to that soldier just now?"

  "Ah, he came to report the search for the Fullmetal Alchemist." Lieutenant Colonel Reis said with a wry smile, "But unfortunately, we have searched everywhere, but we can't find where the Fullmetal Alchemist is. No one admits that he is his master."

  "Strange, Edward and Al clearly said that their master is in Tapris. Are they lying to me?" Yilansi held her chin with her hand and thought, "Isn't it necessary? We went together at the beginning, there is no way to lie. Could it be that their master is a sage who has been away from the world?"

  "We have confirmed that there are people who can do alchemy in this city, unless they are lying." Lieutenant Colonel Reis was also very embarrassed. He received such a great favor from the other party, but he couldn't do such a small thing. It was really unreasonable.

  "Where is the list? Can you show it to me?" Yilansi said to Lieutenant Colonel Reis.

  "Here." Lieutenant Colonel Reis handed the brief list that Cohen had copied to Yilansi.

  Yilansi took the list and began to look through it casually. There were no more than ten people in Tapris who knew alchemy, and none of them were national alchemists. That's right, half of them would go to the central government or to a larger city after obtaining the qualification of a national alchemist, because in that case, both research data and research materials would be very easy to obtain. "This is troublesome." Yierlansi scratched her already messy hair, "This Douding is really something! How about this." She suddenly thought of an idea, "You spread the news of my coming here. Don't just say the title, but include my name. When he and I separated, I was not yet a State Alchemist."

  "Well, okay." Lieutenant Colonel Reis nodded, "It seems that this is the only way. I hope that Fullmetal Alchemist will come here to find you after knowing it."

  "Alas, there is no way." Yierlansi put the list on the table, "It seems that I will have to bother you here for a few more days."

  "It doesn't matter." Lieutenant Colonel Reis smiled, "You saved the miners, and they and their families want to express their gratitude to you very much."

  "Aren't State Alchemists supposed to serve the public?" Yierlansi smiled.


Chapter 37: Rescue

  For two days, there was no news, which made Yierlan Si, who was full of expectations, very depressed. "What is this Edward doing?" Yierlan Si lay on the table like an unlady, and kept complaining, "I must beat him up when I see him. And Winry is the same, Edward didn't come to me, why didn't you come to me?" Of course, she didn't know that Winry had gone to Rush Village to be an apprentice.

  Reis looked at the young lady in front of him helplessly. Doesn't this guy know to pay attention to his image? There are also young soldiers in this office! Since there are almost no technicians for mechanical prostheses in Tapris, Cohen's mechanical prostheses are going to be made in Rash Village. They are being prepared these two days. According to the doctor, it seems that he needs to exercise because the operation is very painful. Well, anyway, for various reasons, Cohen will have to wait for a while before he can go to Rash Village, so he works two or three hours a day in the office.

  Cohen's face is a little red. Although he tries his best to restrain himself, his eyes will still drift to a certain place uncontrollably. And Yierlan Si is still lying there, without any image at all. "Well, don't be too anxious." Reis comforted. After two days of getting along, he also figured out Yierlan Si's temperament. In fact, he is just a very careless guy. He always acts on impulse and doesn't care about details. This is similar to many men.

  "Oh, it's so boring." Yierlan Si yawned, "It seems that I have to find something to do. It's not a solution to always wait for that bastard here."

  "Report!" At this time, the voice of the soldiers came from outside. "Come in." Lieutenant Colonel Reis heard someone outside shouting for help and said,

  "Lieutenant Colonel, there is a man outside who claims to be President King Bright, and there is also a man who claims to be the great alchemist Alex Louis Armstrong. There are also many other soldiers who want to see you, Lieutenant Colonel." The soldier saluted and reported.

  After hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Reis immediately looked at Yierlan Si, because this guy seemed to be very familiar with the president. "Okay, okay, I'll go with you too." Yierlan Si stood up, with no expression on his face, but when he heard the name of President King Bright, his face unconsciously showed a hint of coldness. "It just so happens that I know both of them." After saying this, he walked out first.

  Lieutenant Colonel Reis also walked out immediately.

  The two men came to the entrance of the military headquarters and saw Brett and Armstrong standing aside. Several people with ranks lower than colonel were glaring at the sentry, as if they were because the sentry did not let them in directly. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be here too, Miss Hoynent!" Armstrong smiled and shouted when he saw Yierlansi.

  Alas, so... I must stay away from this guy in the future. Yierlansi looked at Armstrong helplessly, then nodded and walked to President Brett. "I didn't expect to see you here. My apprentice really troubled you." There was a hint of anger in her words.

  "Who are you? How can you talk to the president like this!" When the officers saw that Yierlansi ignored them and walked directly to the president, and spoke in an impolite tone, they immediately ran over and scolded loudly.

  "How can I talk to the president? Do I need to ask you to intervene?" Yilansi looked at the officers with disgust and simply showed a mocking expression. "You, you..." The officers probably didn't expect Yilansi to dare to talk back, and they were so angry that they couldn't speak for a while.

  "Okay, we didn't come here to make you quarrel." President Brett said, "We came here to dispatch troops to rescue Alphonse Elric."

  "What happened to Al?" Yilansi was a little surprised.

  "It seems that someone kidnapped him." Armstrong answered for Brett, "Ed has gone there first, but we have to go there quickly. Although Ed is very powerful, he is still a child after all, and he is still in the enemy's territory."

  "This is my seal, take a look." Brett glanced at an officer next to him, and then said to Reis.

  Reis didn't say anything, but took the seal, looked at it, and confirmed that it was correct. "I'm very sorry, Mr. President!" He immediately saluted, but neither servile nor arrogant, "I will gather the troops immediately."

  "No, you did a great job." Brett said, "You are very good at leading troops. If all the soldiers in our country have your qualities, then I can rest a few years earlier." He nodded to Reis. After seeing Reis leave, he asked all the officers except Armstrong to stay here, and then said to Yilan Si, "Are you going too?"

  "Of course!" Yilan Si answered decisively, "After all, I am their guardian now!"

  "Well, wait for Reis to come, and we will go together." Brett nodded and stopped talking.

  Soon, Reis gathered 200 soldiers with live ammunition, and one by one, the troop carriers rushed to the scene of the incident under the leadership of Brett's special car. "Surround this place!" Lieutenant Colonel Reis commanded the soldiers to completely block this area. "Don't even let go of the sewers!" The soldiers started to act very quickly, and Jin #8226; Bright, Armstrong, and Yierlan Si walked in from the front.

  "Let's separate, so that the chance of encountering Al is greater." Yierlan Si said, and then he jumped several times and disappeared. "Well, you are really good." President Bright said after seeing Yierlan Si disappear. "Let's do this." He said to Armstrong. "Yes!" Armstrong said, shaking his fist.

  "We have controlled the first floor below!" One of the soldiers pointed a pistol at an enemy who had been shot and lost his combat effectiveness, and said to his comrade next to him. "Well, this is the entrance to the second floor underground." Another soldier said cautiously. Then several people quietly approached the door and prepared to rush in.

  Boom!

  At this time, a door suddenly opened on the ground, and Yierlan Si jumped down from it. "Is this the door to the second underground floor?" She asked the soldier next to her. Although she could use alchemy to rush in, it would be easy to run to an unknown place, so she was ready to go through the normal door. "I'll go in first." After seeing the soldier's affirmative answer, she walked in directly.

  Swish!

  As soon as she walked in, there was a sound of a sharp weapon slashing from behind. Yierlan Si quickly flipped upside down and came directly to the sky. She saw a broom-headed guy slashing at the place where she had just been with a saber. Looking for death! As Yierlan Si fell again, she kicked hard. The guy flew far away and smashed the wall directly and fell down. "Mr. Dole!" A man shouted, followed by continuous shooting.

  Yierlan Si had not yet landed, and had no place to borrow strength, and was completely exposed to the opponent's shooting range. Several bullets flew over quickly. Seeing the other party's happy expression, Yierlan Si thought to herself, "Oh, I really don't want to disappoint him, but I don't want to get hurt either.

  "

  waved her right hand several times in succession, and instantly all the bullets were shot away. The guy looked at Yierlan Si in surprise. Perhaps he had never seen a human being deflect bullets with bare hands. In fact, Yierlan Si didn't have the ability to directly deflect bullets with her hands. She just used alchemy to form a very fast rotating wind shield in the range of her right hand, and then used the wind shield to deflect the bullets. It sounds simple, but to do it in such a short time, it is not something that ordinary alchemists can do.

  As soon as Yierlan Si landed on the ground and launched an attack on the guy, the wall around him was broken, and a huge hammer whistled over. What a trouble! Yierlan Si put his right hand on the hammer, jumped up, and rushed towards the opponent. His right elbow directly hit the opponent's chest, and the guy flew out directly. After landing, Yierlan Si put his hands together and pressed them on the wall. A row of very sharp shoots quickly grew over.

  At this time, the guy shot at him again. Yierlan Si did not move either. He directly refined an earth wall around him, and then a huge hand grew on the earth wall. The guy was stuck between the giant hand and the wall. After seeing this, the soldiers behind him who wanted to come to support were all stunned. Is this the battle of the alchemist? It's really amazing!

  "Okay, stop being in a daze! Do you want to die?" Yierlan Si saw that these soldiers were actually in a daze there, shouted, and then rushed down again.

  "Nothing can be created out of nothing, so your shield must be the same. Even if you are a man-made man, your body structure must be similar to ours. Moreover, one third of your body is made of carbon!" Although he looked very embarrassed, Edward was still in high spirits. "The structure of carbon atoms will directly affect its hardness. Since it can become hard diamond, it can also become graphite for pencils." He wiped the blood off his chin. "Now that we know the structure, it's our job as alchemists!" He waved to Gulide. "Also, I know that hardening and regeneration cannot be carried out at the same time!"

  "Well said! Ed, I always thought you were a reckless and ignorant kid!" At this time, Yilan Si's voice came over.

  "Yilan!" Edward was a little surprised and followed the voice. Who else could it be if it wasn't Yilan Si standing at the door? "You have help!" Gulide said to Edward after seeing Yierlansi coming, "I also thought you were just a brat who could only use brute force. I like you." He saw Yierlansi looking at him fearlessly, and then said to Edward, "So, if we continue to fight, it will not be good for both of us. I will let you escape!" After that, he immediately rushed into the ventilation duct above and disappeared. "Goodbye, brat!" Of course, he still left the words.

  "Stop!" Edward saw Gulide running away and wanted to chase him. "Okay, why are you rushing up! Are you going to die?" Yierlansi stopped Edward, "Go find your brother somewhere else, I'll leave that guy to me." After that, he rushed directly into the ventilation duct.

  He looked at the ventilation duct with some reluctance, and finally chose to save his brother. "Al!" He shouted while looking for Al. Yierlansi got into the ventilation duct and tracked Gulide bit by bit. The other party was not an easy guy to deal with. Yierlan Si knew it very well. At least, it was not something she could easily deal with in her current state. Even being able to beat him was a problem. After all, the other party was very difficult to kill. She unconsciously pressed her left hand on her chest.

Chapter 38, Mission

  Yillan Si crawled very carefully in the ventilation duct. She didn't want to be discovered by the other party and then hit her back. After carefully tracking, she finally came to the sewer.

  Huh, it was too smelly!

  Yierlan Si couldn't stand the smell in the sewer, not only because the smell was too bad, but also because it completely wiped out the smell of Gulide. "This is bad!" She muttered in secret.

  Boom!

  Wait? What sound? Yierlan Si tiptoed to the place where the sound came from, and when she reached the corner, she secretly stuck her head out to look around. After seeing the two people inside, Yierlan Si opened her eyes wide in surprise. She really couldn't believe that President Jin #8226; Bright was so powerful! Gulide himself was difficult to deal with, but he could easily cut off the opponent's hands and feet. Although the opponent could regenerate, regeneration still required speed. However, no matter how Gulide regenerated, he couldn't keep up with the speed at which his limbs were cut off. Too perverted

  ! Those three artificial people might not be the opponent of this guy!

  Yierlan Si muttered in her heart, should I go over to help? After hesitating for a while, she didn't go over in the end. I'm afraid it wouldn't be of any use if she went over, right? "Do you know?" At this time, Jin #8226; Bright spoke, although the voice was very low, but Yierlan Si could still barely hear it. "If you have the strongest shield in the world, then I have the strongest eyes in the world!"

  What does this mean? After hearing this, Yierlan Si was very confused.

  "Ahhhhhhhhhh..."

  What's going on? Yierlan Si suddenly heard a loud roar, so he secretly stuck his head out again. He saw that the two guys he had knocked down just now were not dead, but rushed over to help Gulide. They are simply here to die! Yierlan Si thought to himself, you can't even beat me, and you still want to fight this guy? What a joke! After two muffled sounds, there was no other sound.

  "Hey, Mr. King Bright, what are you doing? You actually made my subordinates like this?" This is Gulide's voice.

  "What? Have you developed feelings for the chess piece?" This is Bright.

  "Feelings? Don't joke!" Gulide roared, "Who do you think I am? I am the greedy Gulide! Whether it's money, women, or subordinates, they are all mine! I will not abandon my things! Because my passion is very strong!"

  "Greed, you are getting more and more boring!" The saber in President Bright's hand made a sound of cutting the wind. "Just lie here for a while."

  "You are Edward's brother, right? Are you not injured?"

  Yierlan Si was shocked when she heard this. She did not find Al. First, Al did not make a sound, and second, because Al had no passion, it was difficult for her to feel his breath. Thinking of this, Yierlan Si no longer concealed her breath and walked out clapping her hands.

  "Who?" King Bright looked over and asked harshly.

  "It's amazing! The president can actually use four sabers to knock that guy down!" Yilansi stopped clapping and walked over. "I just got here and saw this scene." She was about to move forward, but saw Al suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed the back of Brett's head.

  "No, Miss Mattie!" Al shouted in panic.

  "Hey, Al! What are you doing?" Yilansi's face changed a little. Attacking the head of state, this guy could kill Al directly. She rushed over and tried to stop Al. But Brett did something that surprised her. He actually swung the knife to stab him from behind, and stabbed directly into the gap between Al's chin.

  Puff!

  It was the sound of a ** being stabbed, and Al's hand dropped. "Ahhhhh..." But he screamed in fear. "Al!" Yilansi dodged Brett and came to Al in a panic, but Al was still screaming unconsciously, as if he didn't feel Yilansi at all.

  "If anything happens to Al!" Yilansi turned around and said with gritted teeth, "I will never let you go!"

  "Such a strong murderous aura, but I'm afraid you don't have a chance." Brett said and walked away, "I'll call the soldiers."

  "Hey, Al! Al!" Yilansi no longer paid attention to President Bright, but hurriedly took off Al's head (why does this sound so...), and looked inside... It was bloody, and there was a woman inside, with her heart pierced, and blood splattered everywhere. "This is..." Yilansi saw that the blood mark on the back of Al's heart inside the armor was also splattered with blood. There was no way, so I had to wait a moment.

  "Miss Hoynent! Miss Hoynent!" At this time, the shouts of soldiers came from outside.

  "I'm here!" Yilansi shouted back, "Come on, some people, help me."

  "Okay." With the scattered footsteps and dim lights, four or five soldiers came. "Be careful." Yilansi pointed at Al, "Let him face down." Several soldiers looked at each other, not knowing why Yilansi asked them to carry an armor.

  "He is the brother of Fullmetal Alchemist Edward. Come and help him." Yierlansi said when she saw that all of them were stunned. "Oh, OK!" After a panicked reply, several soldiers worked together to lift Al up.

  "Al!" When Al was lifted to the ground and the body inside the armor was taken out, Edward, who got the news, ran over covered in blood. This guy had just separated from Yierlansi when he was discovered by the soldiers, and then he was protected without any explanation and was not allowed to go anywhere. There was no other way, so he waited anxiously. When he heard that Al was rescued, he ran over quickly.

  "Brother?" Al recovered from silence. "Are you okay?" Edward asked very worriedly. "Brother is in trouble, covered in blood." Al seemed not to have fully recovered yet, and said weakly.

  "Ah..." Edward was surprised to see that the front of Al's armor had been removed, and it was full of blood. "I opened the armor without permission and took her out." Armstrong looked at the body covered by cloth on the side, and he seemed very sad.

  "I couldn't save her life..." Al covered his eyes with his hands.

  "It's not your fault..." Edward didn't know how to comfort Al. "Okay, we should go, the master is still waiting." "I say, are you ignoring me?" Yierlan Si said helplessly on the side, after all, I was trying my best to save people.

  "Uh, sorry." Edward was not in the mood to explode beans at this time, his heart was all on his brother.

  "Huh, you are really." Yierlan Si sighed. "Okay, since I found you, I will go with you." "I'm sorry to make you worry." Al also said to Yierlan Si. "Okay, Al did nothing wrong." Yierlan Si patted Al's head gently.

  "Wait a minute, I have a question for you!" At this time, President King Bright suddenly came over with people.

  "What's the matter?" Edward looked at Brett with some doubt.

  "Did you make any deal with the man with the Ouroboros tattoo?" Brett asked very seriously. "Not at all." Edward answered coldly. His brother was in danger and he was finally rescued, but he came to question him immediately. "I didn't get any information that would be beneficial to the army!"

  "Don't get me wrong, this is not for the military." Brett stared at Edward closely. "If you made a deal with them, then I might have to deal with you." "Not at all." Edward answered. "Any other questions?"

  "What's the relationship between your steel arm and your brother's armor?" Brett pressed on.

  Hearing this question, Edward's muscles all over his body tensed up. If there was any mistake, he would probably activate alchemy. "What's the relationship between the guys here and the guys with the Ouroboros tattoo who attacked me in the center?" Yierlan Si stood between Edward and Brett.

  "This needs to be investigated!" Brett glanced at Yi'erlansi, "Edward, you have a good brother, you must cherish him!" After that, he said to Yi'erlansi, "Wind Alchemist, I have a mission for you." Wind Alchemist

  ? Edward was a little surprised to hear Brett call Yi'erlansi this name. His eyes flickered, and then he found that Yi'erlansi had a silver pocket watch on her belt like himself. Didn't she hate being a state alchemist? Why did she become one again?

  "What mission?" Yi'erlansi didn't move, but stood here and asked directly. He didn't seem to want me and Edward to have too much contact. Was he worried that I would say something to Edward?

  "This is a confidential mission, please come with me." Brett said, and walked outside the blockade area. The soldiers beside him immediately formed a new blockade.

  Yi'erlansi frowned, "Okay, tell me the exact address, and I will find you after I complete the mission." She turned around and said to Edward. "Oh." Edward told him the address of his master's house. "We will stay there for a while. Of course, we may leave soon, but I will leave a message for my master."

  "Okay." Yierlan Si wrote down the address, nodded, took two steps forward, came to Edward's side, and put her mouth next to his ear. "Be careful, don't get too close to the military." After that, she walked towards the direction of the president. "Goodbye." She waved to Edward and Al when she left the alley.

  


Chapter 39, the Land of Gold

  "Okay, what is the mission?" Yierlan Si seemed to be lazily walking to the side of the president, but she was ready for battle. Who knows if this guy will suddenly hurt people, after all, he has seen the Ouroboros on his forehead. "If it's too difficult, I can't do anything about it."

  "This mission is not a very difficult one." President Bright turned around, "I think at least for you, it should be." "What do you mean?" Yi'erlan's eyebrows jumped twice, "I'm still young and want to live two more years!"

  "If that's the case, don't say anything to Fullmetal Alchemist. I think you should know what I'm talking about." President Bright said gloomily. "Really?" Yi'erlan shook her head with a grin, "But I've almost forgotten it. What can I say to Edward?" She didn't want Edward and Al to know that she was a man-made man. If they really knew, would they still treat her as usual? So, even if Bright didn't remind herself, she wouldn't say these things.

  "In that case, just go around and take a look. I will give this task to someone else." Brett said, turned around and walked outside. "I hope you have a pleasant trip, but I hope you can write me a report when the time comes!" He waved his hand with his back to Yilan Si.

  In the end, is he trying to get me away from Edward? Yi'erlan showed a sneer on her face. It's really interesting. What on earth does this president want to do? First he used Aisa as a hostage to threaten me, and now he ordered me to travel... Humph, if we meet unexpectedly during the trip, you probably won't be able to say anything, right? But let's go now. Although I don't want to listen to him, who made me tied to the chariot of the State Alchemist?

  "Then, where should I go?" Yierlan Si said, looking into the distance. "Forget it, just take a walk!" She staggered towards the train station.

  "Oh, it's too bad, it's already so late. I have to find a place to spend the night..." Yierlan Si muttered as she looked at the setting sun that was gradually sinking into the horizon. She had been taking trains and wandering around for a few days, and then she walked for fun. Finally, she got lost while walking and couldn't find a place to spend the night. "Are you going to have to sleep on the street?" She looked at the hills around and sighed helplessly. "Forget it, let's get over that hill first!"

  Speaking of which, I have been wandering around for the past week, and I always feel like something is following me. That bastard really won't let up! I ran to a deserted place on purpose. There was no one to attack me. Did the other party just want to follow me? Or did they not dare to come out? It seems that I have to find a chance to shake off this tail.

  "Wow, great!" After climbing over the hill, Yierlansi found a town ahead. "Oh, great, I don't want to camp in the wilderness!" Yierlansi cheered and jumped back and forth on the hillside quickly. The steep hillside seemed to have no effect on her. It took her less than ten minutes to get down the hillside that would take an ordinary person half an hour.

  "What a shabby town!" After seeing the cities where the Central and Eastern Commands were located, this kind of town was really very shabby. Even Tapris was a thousand times better than this. Just as she was about to enter the town, she saw the entrance of a mine on the hillside outside the town. "Huh? Is this also a mine?" She expressed her doubts for a while, but finally felt that filling her stomach was the most important thing, so she walked quickly into the town.

  "Well, uncle." Yierlansi stopped a middle-aged man casually, "Excuse me, where is the hotel in the town?" "

  Hotel? There used to be one, but now Jerotheim no longer produces gold. No one comes here, so of course the hotel can't be opened..." "In other words, there are no hotels here now?" Yierlansi's eyes twitched, and she came to a conclusion directly with what this guy said.

  "That's right." The uncle nodded, "You are from outside, what are you doing in this town?"

  "Just traveling around." Yierlansi shrugged, "But I think I came to the wrong place." She seemed to realize something, "Ah, what did you say Jerotheim? Is this the 'Golden Town' Jerotheim?"

  "It used to be." The uncle replied.

  "Well... For me, the most important thing now is to find a place to rest." Yierlansi sighed helplessly, "Does this mean I have to sleep on the street today? Although I used to do this often..."

  "If you have nowhere to go, come to my house." The uncle said. "What's your name?"

  "Irlansi, Irlansi#8226;Hoinent." Irlansi replied with a smile, "What's your uncle's name?" "Just call me Belsio." The uncle replied. "Well, Uncle Belsio, thank you!" Irlansi smiled and stretched out her hand, shaking hands with the guy, "Also, your hair is very stylish!"

  The guy unexpectedly blushed. Irlansi saw it with her sharp eyes, so she laughed happily. "My home is over there in the town, near the mountain." Belsio pointed to the mountain where there was a big villa halfway up the mountain.

  "Oh, it's really far away." Irlansi pouted, "But forget it, it's good to have a place to stay overnight." She laughed, "Well, but there is one thing, uncle can't attack at night!"

  Belsio heard this and began to seriously doubt whether her decision was correct. This beautiful little girl is simply a little devil. "If you still want to have dinner, let's go!" He said as he walked towards his home.

  "Okay, okay." Yierlansi nodded and agreed quickly. "Uncle Belsio!" At some point, a crisp voice came. "Elisa?" Belsio looked at the little girl in front of him in surprise. "Why did you run out? How are you? Are you still coughing?"

  "Much better now!" The little girl coughed twice slightly, then smiled and said, "Who is this big sister?" "My name is Yierlansi, you can call me Sister Yilan." Yierlansi greeted the little girl. Fortunately, she was not a very small child... She was terribly afraid of children.

  "Sister Yilan is so beautiful!" Seeing Yierlansi's friendly look, Elisa immediately ran over, "Sister, are you from outside?"

  "Yes, I am a traveler. Because I couldn't find a hotel, I was taken in by Belsio." Yierlansi deliberately pretended to have a bitter face. "Sister Yilan, come to my house!" Alyssa said happily, "I... cough, cough!" She was interrupted by a violent cough before she finished speaking.

  "Alyssa, are you okay?" Belsio saw it and hurried to Alyssa's side, asking with concern. "Let me take a look." Although Yilan Si didn't know much about medical alchemy, she still knew a little. "Don't move." Yilan Si pulled open the little girl's clothes and put her ear to her chest. There was no other way without a stethoscope.

  "How is it?" Belsio asked hurriedly after seeing Yilan Si fix the little girl's clothes. Alyssa also looked at Yilan Si with an inquiring look.

  "It stands to reason that such a young child shouldn't go to work in the mine, right?" Yilan Si's words seemed to be irrelevant.

  "In fact, the gold mine here has been stopped for more than a year, because there is no gold anymore." Belcio said in confusion, "Why are you asking these questions?"

  "Silicosis, there are a lot of impurities in the lungs of a little girl." Yierlan Si answered, "If you don't stay in a place with a lot of smoke and dust, you won't get this disease." In fact, it should be because of inhaling too much silica... But is it possible in this place? Probably something similar.

  "Can you cure her?" Belcio asked nervously.

  "I don't have that much ability." Yierlan Si shook her head, "Everyone has their own expertise. Although I can see some simple symptoms, it doesn't mean I can cure it." She said to Belcio, "The most important thing now is to leave the pollution source, otherwise if this continues..." Although she didn't finish her words, anyone who understood a little bit would know.

  "Don't worry, Uncle Belcio, I'm fine." Alyssa smiled and jumped twice on the spot to show that she was fine, although she should have understood what I said just now. Belcio squatted down, letting the things in his hand fall to the ground, and he hugged Alyssa. "Uncle Belcio..." Alyssa saw Belcio like this, and a trace of sadness appeared on her face.

  , why am I talking about this... I really am. "Okay, there's no need to be sad." Yierlan Si sighed helplessly, "Can you please stop looking like you're about to die? Although Alyssa has that disease, it doesn't mean she will die! As long as she receives good treatment, she'll be fine."

  "Really?" Belcio grabbed a life-saving straw, it seemed that he liked this little girl very much. So much so that Yierlan Si thought this guy was a loli control, but after seeing Belcio's busy and kind eyes, she realized that this guy just treated Alyssa like his own daughter.

  "Belcio, let go of my daughter!" At one point, a slightly fat uncle ran over angrily, grabbed Alyssa and pulled her behind him, "Stay away from my daughter in the future, you bastard!" After that, he took the little girl away regardless of Alyssa's protest.


Chapter 40, Two Meals and One Night in Equivalent Exchange

  "It seems that you are not welcome." Yierlansi saw that the people next to her were also looking at Belcio with angry eyes, and said with a smile. "Nothing." Belcio replied, but he could read from his eyes that he didn't care that much.

  Yierlansi shrugged, but it didn't matter to her, right? She had enough troubles now. "Then let's go quickly. I'm almost starving." She said with a bitter face.

  "Okay." Belcio nodded, picked up the things on the ground, and walked slowly in front.

  Yierlansi walked behind and looked around bored. Although it seemed far away, it was still quite fast. Belcio's house was not very big, with only three rooms. "You can sleep in it." Belcio pointed to the innermost room, "There is no one in that room. I clean it every day."

  "There are really many people in this town who have the same disease as Alyssa." Yierlansi nodded and sat in front of the table. "Ever since Magval began to fund Nash Tringham to study the red liquid, this disease has become prevalent. At first, children were the first to fall ill, and later, elderly and frail adults also began to contract the disease. Many people died in the town..." Belsio replied with a sigh.

  "Red liquid?" Yilansi thought for a moment, "I seem to have some impression. The man named Nash Tringham seems to be the discoverer of the red liquid. Could it be that this disease is caused by that red liquid?" "

  When this disease first began to spread, a man named Dr. Mark came here and saved Alyssa." Belsio said to himself, "If it weren't for him, Alyssa would have died at that time. He seemed to have said that Alyssa got the disease because of the red poisonous liquid that surged up from the ground."

  "Oh, so Alyssa's disease should be chronic poisoning." Yilansi said, supporting her chin, "It seems that this thing must be some heavy metal that has penetrated into people's blood over a long period of time, causing symptoms similar to silicosis." She looked at the uncle in surprise, "But how do you know so much?"

  "Because Nash is from this town, and I have experienced these things personally, of course I know a lot." Belsio started cooking. "Oh." Yilansi looked uninterested. "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, who owns that villa on the mountain?"

  "It's the villa of Magwal, a big landlord in the town, and it's also the research laboratory for the red liquid." Belsio cut the vegetables.

  "You're really not afraid of death. You're still researching these things." Yilansi curled her lips. "Didn't you tell the people in the town?"

  "No one believed it," Belsio sighed. "They were all fascinated by the idea of ​​using red liquid to research the Philosopher's Stone so that they could refine gold and make the town prosperous again."

  "Use red liquid to research the Philosopher's Stone?" Yilansi opened her eyes wide, as if she had heard something very funny.

  "Yes, the people in the village are used to relying on gold to live..." "Hahahaha, you're so funny!" Yilansi laughed immediately after hearing Belsio's words, "Woo woo hee hee... hahaha... oh, I can't stand it, I'm laughing to death! This is the funniest thing I've ever heard!" She laughed so hard that her tears came out, and finally she fell off the chair because she laughed too hard. She was still laughing on the ground.

  Belsio looked at the girl who suddenly laughed wildly in confusion.

  "Oh, I can't do it anymore." Yilansi's stomach hurt from laughing so much that she finally stopped. She patted the dirt off her body, sat on the chair again, and then lay on the table, still twitching from time to time, "It's really funny. You actually have to use that red liquid to study the Philosopher's Stone, and you actually have to use the Philosopher's Stone to refine gold... puff, hahahaha..."

  "Are you okay?" Belsio looked at Yilansi who was laughing wildly with a black face.

  "Haha, hehe, uh, it's okay." Yilansi said breathlessly, "I just thought it was funny. I didn't expect that people in this world are so naive." "Why do you think so?" Belsio felt that there was something wrong.

  Yilansi held her chin with her right hand, looking at the villa outside the window, and her left hand drew circles on the table. "That kind of thing is impossible," she said seriously, without any joking, "No matter how many years they have been studying, that red liquid can't be made into the Philosopher's Stone. Moreover, if you want to refine gold, you don't need the Philosopher's Stone at all. You just need an alchemist with very high skills. Well, at least he has to be a national alchemist."

  "..." After listening to Yilansi's words, Belsio was silent for a while, "You mean, Magwal deceived everyone in the town?"

  "Although I don't know what his purpose is, it's definitely not for the town." Yilansi pointed at the table with her left index finger and said. "Haha, I'm really curious about what this guy can finally study the red liquid into."

  "You are an alchemist, right?" Hearing this, even a fool would know that Yierlansi is an alchemist.

  "I guess so." Yierlansi lay on the table and yawned cutely. The topic was interrupted. Although Belsio knew that Yierlansi was an alchemist, he did not ask her to do anything. As Yierlansi, she did not say anything else. These have nothing to do with her, right? No matter what, it is the people here who make their own choices. Since they have made their choices, they must be responsible for their choices.

  Philosopher's Stone, I want to see how to develop the Philosopher's Stone with red liquid. Yierlansi had the idea of ​​going to see it at night, but later thought about it and gave up the idea. She still had to sleep well at night. Let's forget about these things. The two of them ate some dull dinner, and Yierlansi ran to the room Belsio told her to sleep. Only Belcio was left there hesitating. Yes, he was hesitating, not knowing whether he should ask the girl for help. Yes, he wanted to find an alchemist to help uncover the secret of the red liquid and stop the town from wanting to live on gold production, but that would put the girl in dire straits.

  "Alas." Belcio sighed. After all, the national alchemist, the famous steel, was also helping Magwal with his research. Although they were both children, the national alchemist was more powerful. He pressed his forehead and began to worry. Yierlansi was full and sleeping soundly. Of course, she still took a lot of protective measures. If the uncle wanted to attack her at night, he would definitely pay a very heavy price. There was no conversation

  that night. The next day, when Yierlansi came out of the bedroom refreshed, Belcio had already started preparing breakfast outside. "I didn't expect the uncle to be so diligent." She didn't feel unnatural at all for living in someone else's house. "Besides, uncle's cooking skills are pretty good. Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant?" she said with a smile.

  "Even if I open a restaurant, no one will come here to eat." Belcio said without turning his head.

  "Hehe." After Yierlan Si finished washing up, she sat at the table, waiting for breakfast. In fact, he had already seen that Belcio was hesitant to speak last night. From his words and actions, and the way people looked at him for a while, he could guess what he wanted to say. "I think you should be against the people in the town who want to use the red liquid to refine the Philosopher's Stone, and then refine gold, and live a life of mining gold again?"

  "Ah, it turns out to be Miss National Alchemist." The middle-aged man immediately smiled, "I'm Magval, welcome to join us." He opened the door of the room and invited Yilansi in.

  "Yes, but they can't forget the rich life brought by mining gold." Belsio sighed and answered helplessly, "If this continues, this town will become a dead town sooner or later."

  "You probably want me to help you, right?" Yilansi said with a smile, "but I'm embarrassed to ask."

  "Since you said so... it's true, this town can't go on like this." Belsio answered excitedly.

  "Okay." "What did you say?" Belsio was shocked by Yilansi's rash answer.

  "Didn't you hear it clearly?" Yilansi said with a smile, "I said 'OK!' Who asked you to treat me to two meals and stay overnight? It's just an equal exchange."

  "But the other party has a national alchemist..." "I'm also very strong." Yilansi said proudly, "Don't compare me with ordinary guys." "The other party is not an ordinary person, but a very famous Fullmetal Alchemist." Although Belsio was happy that the other party should help him, he was also worried.

  "Fullmetal Alchemist?" Yierlansi raised her eyebrows. "Then there's no problem. I just feel like giving them a beating." They actually came here to study the Philosopher's Stone... No way! With their personalities, they wouldn't do such a thing. They shouldn't be able to see the toxicity of that red liquid... Could it be that someone is pretending to be someone else?

  "Really?" Belsio became even more worried when he saw Yierlansi's look.

  "Do you look down on me?" Yierlansi frowned. "Hmph, forget it. Anyway, I won't change what I've decided. I'll go over after breakfast."

 

Chapter 41, Red Liquid

  After breakfast, Yierlansi ignored Belsio and went straight to the town, picking up someone at random. "Hey, I heard that there is a man named Magwal who is studying the Philosopher's Stone, right?" She asked.

  "How do you know?" The uncle looked at Yilansi with doubtful eyes. He didn't know that Yilansi was entertained by Belsio yesterday, otherwise he would have left long ago. "It's not easy to know. You are not very tight-lipped. You can find out as long as you ask a little."

  "You, who are you?" The uncle was a little scared by Yilansi's look.

  "I am an alchemist." Yilansi shook his head proudly, and then folded his hands in front of his chest. "Really?" The uncle was obviously very skeptical. "Why? Don't believe it!" Yilansi had expected the other party's reaction, so he was not angry. He loosened his arms in front of his chest, clapped his hands, and then pressed them to the ground.

  Zila!

  With a loud bang, a giant statue more than 30 meters high, modeled after this uncle, rose from the ground. "Wow!" Then, everyone around opened their mouths wide, staring at the statue, their jaws almost dropped. "How is it? Not bad, right?" Yilan Si leaned against the statue and asked with a smile.

  "Awesome! It's really amazing!" The uncle said excitedly, "If you join, the Philosopher's Stone will be researched soon!" He grabbed Yilan Si, "In this way, our town will be full of gold again, and we can live a rich life again!"

  "Don't worry, I came here to study the Philosopher's Stone." The lazy guy, Yilan Si resisted the urge to beat this guy up, and said with a dry laugh. "Great!" "Our 'Golden Town' Gerotem will definitely be resurrected again!" The crowd around immediately cheered.

  "Then, can you take me to Magval?" Yilan Si frowned and said.

  "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?" asked the uncle who had a statue erected in the town. "Wind Alchemist Yierlansi #8226; Hoinent." Yierlansi gave her name somewhat helplessly.

  "National Alchemist? Great, if there are two national alchemists, there will be hope for the Philosopher's Stone!" The people around her said happily.

  "Can you take me there now?" Yierlansi was almost unable to bear the hypocrisy and perfunctory treatment of these people. This did not suit her character. "Okay! Okay!" The uncle immediately separated the crowd and took Yierlansi to the villa on the hillside.

  "Does Magwal know alchemy?" Yierlansi patiently wanted to find out more information. "It seems that Lord Magwal can't, but he spent so much money to study the Philosopher's Stone for the sake of the town. This is really admirable!" The uncle began to talk endlessly when he mentioned Magwal.

  Tsk! Yierlansi was very impatient, but now was not

  the time to quarrel, so she had to be patient temporarily. Fortunately, the patience was not long, and they soon arrived at Magwal's villa. "What are you doing here?" The two armed guards asked immediately after seeing the uncle bringing Yierlansi here. "This is the state alchemist, who is here to study the Philosopher's Stone." The uncle said respectfully.

  "State alchemist? This yellow-haired girl!" One of the guards looked at Yierlansi with disdain. The other laughed sarcastically. A big # popped up on Yierlansi's forehead, and then...

  "This..." Looking at the two unconscious guards lying on the ground, the uncle looked at Yierlansi weakly. It was really hard to imagine that this little girl could be so strong. "I told you to judge people by appearance!" Yierlansi felt unsatisfied and kicked the two guards twice, then said to the uncle, "Well, I think if Magwal really wants to study the Philosopher's Stone, he won't care about such a small matter, so you can go back first."

  "Oh, okay, okay..." The uncle was stunned by the scene of Yierlansi knocking down two big men in an instant. He responded reflexively and then went down the mountain.

  "Then now..." Yierlansi strode in. Then he put his hands together and touched the silk scarf on his right wrist. It was right to be prepared first. "Hey, who are you?" At this time, a fat man in a white coat walked out of the door of the room and looked at the two guards who fell at the door and Yierlansi who was standing there in surprise.

  "I am the Wind Alchemist, Yierlansi#8226;Houinent." Yierlansi took out the silver pocket watch in his pocket and shook it. "I heard that there is research on the Philosopher's Stone here, so I came. You know, researching the Philosopher's Stone is the dream of every alchemist." First, let's fool this guy, and then meet the two guys who are not sure whether they are real or fake. "Excuse me, where is Magval? Take me to see him." "

  Oh, by the way. I heard that the famous Fullmetal Alchemist is also here. Is it true?" Yilan Si followed this guy into the room and asked. "Yes, they are indeed here." Magval nodded.

  "Can I meet them?" Yilan Si turned his head and asked.

  "Uh, they are in the laboratory..." Magval was a little confused about Yilan Si's purpose and hesitated for a while. "Really? I just want to take a look at the research so that I can join as soon as possible." Yilan Si immediately took over Magval's words.

  "Okay. Come with me!" Magwal nodded, and took Yilansi into the corridor, turning left and right to a room. "It's in here." After saying that, he opened the door.

  "Edward, how is the condensation of the redstone?" The guy said as he entered the room, and then opened the door and invited Yilansi to come in.

  "The situation is good." A voice answered. Yilansi walked in and saw that there were only two people in the laboratory, both of them were blonde, one tall and the other short. "Haha, I didn't expect to meet the famous Fullmetal Alchemist here." A playful smile hung on the corner of her mouth. It was fake. I knew that this pair of brothers would never do such a thing that would harm others and benefit themselves.

  "You are..." Edward, the tall one, looked at Yilansi in confusion.

  "I am the Wind Alchemist, Irlansi Hoynnt. I will also participate in the research here from today. Please take care of me in the future." She had a smile on her lips, because she suddenly felt that it would be fun. "Welcome to join." The short "Alphonse" nodded to Irlansi weakly.

  "Lord Magval? What's going on?" It seemed that "Edward" didn't want Irlansi to join.

  "Of course, it is to speed up the research progress of the Philosopher's Stone." Magval said sternly. "Okay, Magval." Irlansi turned around and said to the smiling tiger, "It's enough to have Edward here, you can go and do your own thing." "Then, please make sure Miss Hoynnt researches the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible." Magval folded his hands together and said with a smile.

  "Don't worry." Irlansi nodded.

  Bang, the door closed, and Magval walked away with a nervous mood. After all, Yierlansi is the real state alchemist. You should know that the state alchemist is directly under the president, and refining gold violates the three prohibitions of alchemists. If the military knows about this, it will be troublesome. Should we get rid of her? Magwal thought to himself, let's wait and see if the lighthouse can research the philosopher's stone.

  After listening carefully and making sure that there was no one around, Yierlansi walked to a flask with red liquid. "Don't move!" "Edward" said dissatisfiedly. "Didn't I say it?" Yierlansi didn't care at all, "I'm here to study the philosopher's stone, well, how should I call you?" "

  Didn't you hear my name?" "Edward" snatched the flask with red liquid from Yierlansi. "I am the Fullmetal Alchemist!" "Really?" Yierlan Si leaned on the table, smiling and looking at the two children with sharp eyes, "Then please take out the silver pocket watch issued by the President himself to prove the identity of the National Alchemist and let me see it."

  "Why should I let you see it?" "Edward" said angrily. Although he was a little nervous and worried that his identity would be exposed, he still managed to hold on. "If you are here to make trouble, please leave immediately!" "Brother..." The little guy next to him hid behind "Edward" and looked at Yierlan Si in fear.

  "Making trouble?" Yierlan Si smiled. She didn't expect that the other party really guessed her purpose. "I'm not here to make trouble. I don't care whether you are really Fullmetal Alchemists. I just want to ask you a few questions."

  "What questions?" After hearing that the other party no longer questioned his identity, "Edward" breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Is the constant coughing disease in the town at the foot of the mountain caused by this red liquid?" Yierlan Si pointed at the flask in "Edward's" hand and said. "This has nothing to do with you!" "Edward" gritted his teeth and answered harshly. "Brother, we..." "Alphonse" looked at his brother with some worry.

  "Of course it is related." Yilansi sneered, "If it is really because of this red liquid that caused the large-scale illness in the town, then I will destroy this place and notify the military to let them deal with that Magwal and you two imposters."

  "I won't let you succeed!" The flask in "Edward"'s hand flashed with light, and a sapling on the window immediately grew wildly and wrapped around Yilansi, instantly wrapping Yilansi tightly.

  "Oh, the red stone in the flask is the semi-finished product of the Philosopher's Stone?" Yilansi took a closer look and found that there was still a large red stone in the flask.

  "That's right!" "Edward" answered affirmatively, "We must continue our research and complete Dad's research! We must not let you disrupt it!" "Haha, then judging from the current situation, the disease in the town is caused by this red liquid?" Yierlan Si was entangled by the enlarged tree, without any panic.

  "..." "Edward" and his brother did not answer, but the exact answer was known from the expressions on their faces.

Chapter 42, the difference in level

  "Since this is the case, there is no need for this place to exist." Yierlan Si said with a smile, but there was a coldness in his smile.

  "You are now our prisoner, what else can you do?" "Edward" stared at Yierlan Si nervously. "If you can leave quietly, I will let you go."

  "Haha, I'm underestimated." Yilansi laughed sarcastically, "Even the real Fullmetal Alchemist can't beat me, do you think you can beat me?" As soon as the voice fell, the tree that entangled Yilansi was immediately torn to pieces. "I said, I'm the Wind Alchemist, right?" She made a bow-drawing gesture and aimed at "Edward", "So, controlling the wind is my forte."

  "Damn..." "Edward" moved to the side and blocked his brother behind him.

  "Don't move." Yilansi sneered, "My arrows are range attacks. As long as you act rashly, this place will become a ruin." She said, "I'll give you a chance to leave. If you leave, I won't care about your affairs, but if you don't leave... I don't mind killing you."

  "Fletcher, you go first." "Edward" said to his brother. "Brother!" The child called Fletcher looked at his brother with great concern, while "Edward" looked at Yilansi with a very stubborn look.

  "Oh! Really..." Yilansi laughed sarcastically. She was still soft-hearted after all. Although she said some harsh words, she still couldn't do it after all. That kind of eyes, a person with such clear eyes, using other people's names here to study such dangerous things, must have some reasons to do it. "Tell me, why did you do that?" She stopped practicing, put her hands together, and practiced the door behind her into the same material as the wall.

  "Because this is my father's research, he gave up everything for this research." After hesitating for a while, "Edward" finally chose to answer.

  "Your father couldn't be Nash Tringham." Yilansi said. "How did you know?" "Edward" was a little surprised. "As expected, I guessed it. Although I didn't hear much, in the hearts of his friends, he should be a person who works hard to make others happy." Yierlan Si looked at the brothers and said, "What you did has brought so much pain to the people in the town. I think if your father was still here, he would never let you do this."

  "I know a pair of brothers who are much worse than you. In order to achieve their goals, they are as stubborn as you and don't listen to other people's advice. However, no matter what, they will not sacrifice others to achieve their goals."

  The two men listened, and neither of them spoke. After a while, the younger brother named Fletcher looked at his elder brother and said, "Brother, let's not study it any further. This sister is right. I also believe that my father studied the Philosopher's Stone in order to make people happy!"

  "Forget it, if you don't leave, just look at my method." Yierlan Si shrugged, then put his hands together, without looking back, and pressed his left hand on the door that had just been turned into stone. "Humph, there is no change at all!" The "Edward" said somewhat unconvinced.

  "No," Yierlan Si said with a smile, "I just filled all the spaces in this villa except this room with stones." "What!?" The two brothers looked at this very beautiful girl in surprise. If she did this, everyone in the villa, except the three of them, would not be able to survive.

  "Okay, let's go." Yierlan Si smiled and greeted the brothers.

  "You can't go anywhere!" Suddenly a very angry voice came, and then the wall of the room next to the yard was blown open. "You bastards! You actually want to destroy this precious red liquid!"

  "Oh, you are not dead yet." Yilansi looked at Magwal. "If I were you, I would definitely run away before I find you." "Run away? I will never give the red liquid to others!" Magwal said with a ferocious face, "None of you can leave here alive today!"

  "Want to kill us? Don't you want the Philosopher's Stone?" Yilansi said playfully.

  "As long as pregnant women drink this red liquid, through the contraction of the placenta, when the time comes, we can take it out and refine it, and we will definitely get the Philosopher's Stone." Magwal said triumphantly. He waved his hand, and three guards with guns rushed out from behind him, targeting Yilansi and the other two.

  "For the Philosopher's Stone, do you still have humanity?" Yilansi heard this, and his face immediately sank. Fletcher was already dumbfounded after hearing this, and only "Edward" looked at Magwal with anger. "I will definitely stop you!"

  "Hahaha, so what? As long as I have the Philosopher's Stone, everything belongs to me!" Magwal laughed wildly, "As long as I kill you here, everything will be fine." After saying that, he waved his hand again.

  Pah pah pah pah!

  The three guards immediately held their rifles and shot at Yierlan Si and the other two. "Fletcher!" "Edward" screamed, and threw his brother to the ground, trying to block the bullets for his brother. Because the child was closest to those guys, it was too late to dodge. As long as his brother didn't die, it would be fine. His research on the red liquid brought so much pain to the people in the town, which could be regarded as atonement. But after a while, he didn't feel any pain in his body.

  "If the people in the town die now, where will they know the truth?" A nice female voice came.

  "Edward" raised his head and found Yierlan Si blocking the two people. "You..." He looked at Yierlan Si in surprise. "Surprised that I'm not injured, right?" Yierlansi's words were meant to be spoken to both "Edward" and the four stunned people in front of her. "I said I'm the Wind Alchemist, right? Can't you tell something from my second name?" A smile hung on the corner of her mouth. "In addition to being a spear, the wind can also be my shield!"

  The moment Magwal waved his hand, Yierlansi understood what this smiling tiger wanted to do, so she instantly came in front of the brothers and erected a wind shield in front of her, bouncing all the bullets to other places.

  "You guy!" Magwal saw that ordinary bullets had no effect, so he took out a strange-shaped teapot filled with red liquid from his back and put a completed red stone in it. "I want to see how you can block it this time!"

  Damn! After Yierlansi saw this, she immediately felt something was wrong.

  Boom! Boom! Boom...

  A violent explosion, and smoke and dust filled the room. "Hahaha, even the National Alchemist is useless now!" Magwal said very proudly, "That Nash Tringham is, and these guys are too. Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

  "Ah, then I'm really sorry." A pleasant female voice came over, "I don't plan to die yet."

  "What!?" Magwal recognized that the voice was from Yierlansi. When the smoke and dust cleared, he took a closer look and found that a stone wall had actually been erected in front of Yierlansi and the other two. All the shells just now were blocked by this thing. The wall was broken down, and then a wind blade shot out from behind the wall, directly cutting the strange-shaped teapot into two pieces.

  "Haha!" Yierlansi smiled proudly, and then she put her hands together and pressed them on the ground. The three stone pillars instantly pushed the three guards out. At the same time, Yierlansi heard a cracking sound, which seemed to be a broken sternum. Oh, that must be very painful, I'm so sorry. Yilansi stuck out her tongue mischievously.

  "Now you're the only one left." Yilansi looked at Magwal with sweat on his forehead, "What should I do with you?" She seemed to be very distressed, "Oh, right!" She seemed to have thought of a very good idea, "I might as well refine you and the pig together... Hey, where's the man?" She had just made a decision when she found that the culprit was gone.

  "I know where he ran to!" "Edward" said.

  "Oh, then take me there." Yilansi shrugged. "Oh, right. I don't know what your name is yet?"

  "Russell." "Edward" answered, and he ran quickly in one direction. The little kid named Fletcher followed him. Yilansi tiptoed on the ground and followed him very quickly.

  The three of them turned left and right and came to an underground entrance. "What is this place?" Yilansi asked in confusion, pointing at the underground entrance. "This is the entrance to the spring of red liquid." Russell replied. "But you must wear a mask inside, otherwise the gas emitted by the red liquid will make people unconscious... Hey!" Before he finished speaking, Yierlan Si had already walked in. "Let's go!" Russell said to his brother.

  When the two brothers walked into the underground passage where the red liquid flowed, they saw Yierlan Si squatting in front of the red stream and staring at the red liquid. "Wow, I didn't expect there would be so much red liquid." She said to the two people who had already walked in.

  "Are you okay?" Russell asked in surprise.

  "It's okay." Yierlan Si stood up, "This kind of toxicity is not a problem for me." Although it is not a complete artificial human, it is still possible to be immune to toxins. "Okay, let's go quickly. Where did that guy run to?" "That direction." Russell pointed in a direction and said.

  "That's OK, you can go back." Yierlan Si said, "Leave this here to me, you can't stand the toxicity here. Wait for me outside!" After saying that, she disappeared after a few jumps.

  "Brother, what should I do?" Fletcher asked his brother. "Follow him!" Russell was still worried in the end.

Chapter 43: The End of the Land of Gold

  "Oh, this passage is really long." Yierlan Si curled her lips, she was quite impatient. "Oh, is it the end in front?" Not far ahead, except for the place where the red liquid flowed out, it was all blocked by a stone door. Do you want to stop me with this too? It's really childish. Yierlan Si put her hands together and directly made a big hole in the stone door. There was already a very large space inside.

  Bang!

  "Wow!" Just as she was about to walk in, she saw a cannonball coming over, and Yierlan Si was so scared that she squatted down to dodge. Boom! The gravel behind her flew everywhere, and several gravel hit Yierlan Si. "Hiss! It hurts!" Although Yi'erlan Si survived, the pain still made her very sad. "Damn it, you dare to be so arrogant!" Yi'erlan Si put her hands together and pressed them to the ground. A huge stone wall was formed inside the stone door just now, and then Yi'erlan Si rushed into the huge space and used the stone wall she made as her shelter.

  Bang! Boom!

  Another cannonball. Yi'erlan Si frowned, but she was not particularly worried. After all, cannons are not as good as guns. They have unparalleled advantages in long-range combat, but they can hardly play any advantages in close combat. Thinking of this, Yi'erlan Si quickly rushed out of the stone wall and jumped forward several times.

  "You bastard! I will not give you the red liquid!" There was a cannon and a lot of cannonballs next to Magwal. It seemed that he had planned to use this cannon for defense if someone came to grab the red liquid.

  "I don't want that red liquid." Yilansi said, "Although I'm not a good person, I still can't do such a thing that harms others and benefits myself."

  "Don't even think about destroying this place!" Magwal's cannon was already loaded with a shell, and he pulled the fuse angrily.

  Bang! Boom!

  "Oh, I didn't do it." Looking at the mountain space that was about to collapse after being bombarded by the cannon, Yilansi said, "You did it yourself."

  "Magwal!" At this time, Russell and Fletcher had arrived.

  "Hey, didn't I tell you to leave quickly?" Yilansi saw the brothers rushing over and said. After all, it's still very dangerous here. "How did our father die?" Russell ignored Yilansi and asked Magwal.

  "Haha, don't you understand?" Magwal seemed to feel a little better by making others suffer verbally. "That guy refused to refine the Philosopher's Stone according to my method, and he got the truth. Of course, he had to be dealt with!"

  "You bastard!" Russell wanted to rush over angrily.

  "Do you want to die?" Yierlansi grabbed Russell at once. "The most important thing for us now is to leave here as soon as possible. I don't want to be buried alive in it." She pointed to the rock wall that was shaking more and more violently and cracking.

  Boom! Crash!

  Stones began to fall from the top of the cave. "Go!" Yierlansi dragged the irrational guy and said to the little brother. Although reluctant, he still followed Yierlansi to rush out of the mountain.

  "Hahaha, all these red liquids are..." Magwal's words had not yet been finished when he was hit by a huge stone below, and his body was completely destroyed.

  The mountain collapsed, and the red liquid also gushed out, chasing Yierlansi and the other two like a flood. "Wow wow wow!" Yierlansi saw the red liquid chasing behind him and let out a startled cry. Although he said that he was not afraid of the toxins of this thing, it did not mean that he could not breathe in it!

  "Don't stop!" Yierlansi let go of Russell's hand. He would not rush back to fight that guy at this time. He put his hands together, then turned around and pressed them on the ground, directly forming a stone wall, blocking the pursuit of the red liquid at the critical moment.

  "Okay, let's go." Yierlansi said to the two people, "This place is blocked, and other places may not be blocked. Once this red liquid erupts on a large scale, the town below the mountain will suffer." After hearing Yierlansi's words, Russell and Fletcher's faces also changed, and the three of them hurried out.

  At this time, the entire mountain has begun to spray red liquid from all over. If measures are not taken quickly, the town will be flooded by this highly toxic substance. "Brother, what should we do?" Fletcher asked Russell anxiously when he saw this scene. "Damn it!" Russell had no good solution.

  "Alas." Yierlansi made several vertical jumps in a row, like a gazelle, and quickly came to the foot of the mountain. He put his hands together and formed a circular wall. Then he quickly returned to the high ground, "This can only be a temporary solution. The pressure below is too great. If it is not solved, this red liquid will continue to pour out."

  "I have a way!" Fletcher said, and then ran to a big tree next to the red liquid, drew a refining array on the tree, and began to refine it. Russell saw it and hurried over. With the efforts of the two people, the red liquid finally gradually became less.

  "Huh, it's not bad." After seeing that there was no more red liquid, Yilansi sighed and came to the brothers, "You seem to have some skills."

  "Although we are not state alchemists, it does not mean that our strength is worse than that of state alchemists." Russell was very dissatisfied with Yilansi's underestimation and said in a somewhat unkind tone. If he was scolded by an adult, he would feel better, but being scolded by a girl who was only two years older than him was really unacceptable.

  "Really?" Yilansi shrugged without comment, and then watched the brothers smash all the trees that absorbed the red liquid here, turning them into glittering debris and flying into the air. "This will neutralize the toxicity in the red liquid. It seems that your research here is not just for studying the Philosopher's Stone." "We

  are not the kind of people who do that kind of thing just for our own selfish interests." Russell answered bluntly. "Brother!" Fletcher didn't understand why his brother was angry, and blamed his brother in a low voice.

  "Well, but it seems that this can't guarantee that the red liquid won't flow out again, right?" Yilan Si said to the brothers. "

  Well, this red liquid has been flowing for who knows how long. Long before my father discovered this red liquid, this red liquid was actually flowing non-stop, but it was flowing into the deep mountains." Russell replied, "And after my father discovered this red liquid, he dug a channel to let the liquid flow in this direction." The implication is that there must be red liquid underground, but it's just not flowing out now.

  "Well, then it seems that this stone wall can't be removed." Yilan Si said with his chin in his hand.

  "Hey? Then how do we leave here!" Fletcher said in surprise.

  "Simple, just build a bridge." Yilan Si snapped his fingers, "Watch me." After that, he came to the stone wall, faced the mountain, put his hands together, pressed them on the ground, and huge stone pillars rose from the ground.

  "Amazing!" Fletcher exclaimed in admiration from the bottom of his heart. Although he didn't say it, from his eyes, it can be seen that Russell was also very envious.

  After the stone pillar was refined, Yilan Si came to the villa halfway up the mountain, facing the stone pillar, and refined it again. A stone bridge grew out very quickly and was directly placed on the outermost stone wall. There were also very beautiful railings on the stone bridge.

  "OK, how is it? Not bad, right?" Yierlan Si said to the brothers.

  "Amazing!" Fletcher did not hesitate to praise and ran to Yilansi, "Well, sister Hoinent, how did you do it? You can refine it without a formation?"

  "Just use your own body as a construction." Yilansi replied.

  "Can you teach me?" Fletcher said eagerly. "Fletcher!" Russell was a little depressed about his brother's behavior. Did this guy join the other side so quickly?

  "I can't teach you," Yilansi sighed. "I'm sorry, I should know this precious technology..." Fletcher obviously thought that Yilansi wanted to keep it to herself.

  "It's not like that," Yilansi said, "It's not that I want to keep anything." She said to the child, "Because to do this, you must find the truth. If possible, I really want to have never seen the truth..."

  Fletcher seemed to have noticed that Yilansi had difficulties, and he stopped pestering her to learn this technology. "I'm sorry, I'm causing you trouble." Russell saw that his brother had touched something that the other party didn't want to remember, and apologized for his brother.

  "Nothing." Yilansi smiled, then walked onto the stone bridge, "Let's go."

  Without the expectation of refining gold with the Philosopher's Stone, most people in the town were very depressed. Although they knew that the red liquid was highly toxic, they still couldn't give up the rich life that relied on gold. However, there were also people who were not depressed and firmly lived by working with their own hands, such as Belsio. Without the red liquid, the constant coughing of the people in the town, as if the symptoms of silicosis would be alleviated day by day. However, these things have nothing to do with Yierlansi, because Yierlansi has already boarded the train to the Eastern Command.

  "Crack." Yierlansi took a bite of the fruit that Alyssa gave her and sat on the train seat beautifully, "Let's report this to Mustang." This means that she is a member of Mustang's family. There is no other way. If you don't look at that bastard colonel, you have to look at the beautiful, gentle, smart and strong sister Lisa#8226; Hawke!


Chapter 44, Execution of the Stalker

  This place is not very far from the Eastern Command. Yierlansi arrived at the Eastern Command after two days on the train. But she doesn't know that Mustang and Hawke have been transferred to the central government.

  Tsk, really patient! Yilansi frowned. From Tapris until now, that bastard has been following him. It's so abominable. Doesn't this guy know how to give up? It's so annoying to be followed all the time! I have to find a place to kill him!

  After getting off the train, Yilansi found a piece of iron plate, used alchemy to make a skateboard, and quickly slid towards the Eastern Command. Although it would be fine if Mastan sent someone to pick him up, Yilansi didn't like to owe favors to others, so it was better to slide over like this, and by the way, I could find a place to get rid of that very annoying tail. Stepping on the skateboard, sliding left and right, Yilansi came to some darker corners in the town. This is a place that is difficult for the law to reach. There are gambling and prostitution everywhere. It is still easy to hide in such a place.

  The stalker seemed to know that the other party had discovered him. He was afraid of losing him, so he hurriedly accelerated and caught up. Yierlansi turned left and right, entered from the front door of a place that looked like a brothel, stirred up a lot of noise, and then ran out from the back door. She casually threw the skateboard aside, concealed her breath, and sneaked into a dilapidated building. After a while, she saw a guy who was not very tall sneaking over, looking left and right, and sniffing with his nose.

  Can this guy track her with his sense of smell? Yierlansi watched this guy in the dark. "Where did you run to?" The guy seemed helpless and said lazily. "A girl dared to come to such a place, it's really amazing. Well, no, according to Rast, this guy seems to be the same as us."

  "So you mean you are not human either?" Yierlansi's voice came from the guy.

  "What!?" The guy was shocked and prepared to run away reflexively, but Yierlansi had been prepared for this guy to run away. While speaking, he used alchemy to press against the wall next to him. The stone coffin directly sealed up all of this guy except his head. Now even a man-made man would have to struggle to get out.

  "Hey, let me tell you." Yierlan Si asked five meters away from this guy, "You just said you are not human either, so what are you? And what guy is behind you?"

  "Hmph! Don't even think I can tell you!" This guy turned his head to one side.

  "Really?" Yierlan Si showed a sinister smile. She suddenly disappeared, and soon ran back. She grabbed a dog from somewhere in her hand. The dog seemed to be tortured and looked at the stalker pitifully.

  "You, what are you going to do?" The stalker was a little frightened by Yierlan Si's sinister smile.

  "Hmph, you will know in a while." Yierlan Si used alchemy to open a hole in the coffin at the guy's lower abdomen, and then put the dog's head in front of the hole. "If you don't answer my questions honestly, I will definitely let this friend with sharp teeth make out with your little **, how about that?"

  The stalker immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "You guy, you will be punished by God!" The stalker shouted. "Then, let me ask again, why are you following me?" Yierlan Si shook the dog in front of the stalker.

  "...Because, I...received an order." The stalker turned his head to the side, pretending not to look at Yierlan Si, but his eyes did not leave Yierlan Si's hand holding the dog.

  "Whose order?" Yierlan Si's mouth corners rose, it seems that this method is really good for dealing with men, and she will use it often in the future. (Author: You are so vicious! No wonder you turned into a woman! Yilansi: What? You have something against me! If you want to try it, just say it. If you don't say it, how can I know you want to try it..., Author: I finally understand Sun Wukong's pain.)

  "The order of the president." Once you start to answer, the next step is easy

  . "Kim Bright?" Yilansi frowned. Could it be that this president has contact with those guys who came to arrest me? But when he was in Tapris, this guy clearly killed the guy named Gulide many times.

  "You just said that you are not a human like Rast, so what are you?" Yilansi's eyes revealed a sharp look.

  "What am I?" The corners of the stalker's mouth suddenly curled up, as if some conspiracy had succeeded. Yilansi saw the guy's expression change, and immediately threw the dog in his hand to the side, and then dodged to the side. But because she was throwing the dog, she dodged a little slower and a cut was made on her left rib, and blood ooted out.

  "Damn it!" Yierlan Si turned over several times in a row, with his back pressed against the wall of the abandoned building, staring at the guy in front of him with a very long and thin tail. At this time, this guy had used his tail to break all the stone coffins on his body. When he came out of the stone coffin, his hands and feet had all become very similar to those of a lizard, and they looked very sharp.

  "You are a synthetic beast!" As an alchemist, Yi'erlansi would certainly recognize the identity of this guy. Suddenly, she remembered that when she was in the center, she was attacked by a lion-like synthetic beast while wandering around. "What is your relationship with the guy in the center who claims to be the ground patroller!?"

  "Oh, you mean that guy?" The tracker answered a little impatiently, "He is just patrolling around the center to see if there are any guys who are potentially dangerous to us. If there are any, we will kill them directly. However, although that guy has some intelligence, his ability is really not very good. I haven't seen that guy for a long time. Maybe he was killed by someone."

  "Are you really in the same group?" Yierlan Si pressed the wound on his left rib with his right hand, and said a little breathlessly, "So, you are all researched by the president using the national construction agency?"

  "Him? Although he has the right to command us, we are not researched by him." The tracker shook his head and slowly took two steps forward. "Then who invented it?" Yierlan Si wanted to find out more information.

  "Well, those artificial people call him father." As if thinking that Yierlan Si was dead, the stalker was no longer able to keep his mouth shut. "He is our almighty master! He transformed me, who had died in the war, into my current form and gave me life again!"

  "You were also a human before?" Yierlan Si was a little surprised, but then relieved. No matter how perfect the technology is, it is impossible to synthesize a life with advanced intelligence using a life that does not have advanced intelligence.

  "Yes, you are still pretty." The stalker looked at Yierlan Si lustfully, and then walked towards Yierlan Si again. "And you are very brave. Since this is the case, let you taste the pleasure of being a woman before you die."

  "Really? But I don't think you have that ability." Yierlan Si sneered.

  "Do you still want to resist now?" The stalker looked at Yierlan Si with contempt, as if he didn't think that this guy who had shed a lot of blood still had the ability to resist. "Please pay attention to the wording. It shouldn't be resistance." Yierlan Si released her right hand. The wound there was gone. Although she didn't use the Philosopher's Stone and didn't become a complete android, her abnormal recovery ability was not comparable to that of ordinary humans. She put her hands together in front of the stalker's stunned eyes and pressed them to the ground. Suddenly, a very sharp stone thorn grew out of the ground and pierced the abdomen of the guy who was talking nonsense there. She

  clapped her hands again, refined a stone wall behind the guy, and then refined a stone table in front of the guy. "You guy, you actually want to do that to me?" Yierlan Si's calm tone was full of anger. She refined six metal spears and threw them out, directly nailing the guy's limbs and tail to the stone wall to prevent him from resisting.

  "Ahem! You, this guy..." The vitality of this stalker is really tenacious.

  "Not dead yet?" Yierlansi saw that the guy was still alive and sneered, "This is better." She reached out and picked up the shivering dog hiding in the corner and put it on the table in front of the guy.

  The poor big dog looked at Yierlansi with a miserable look, but after seeing Yierlansi's look that meant "If you refuse, I will make you into dog meat hot pot", it just obeyed humiliatingly. It stood up tremblingly on the stone table, then showed an extremely disgusting expression, stretched its head forward, and opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth.

  "Hey! You, you guy, you dare..." The stalker was still alive.

  "Why shouldn't I dare?" Yierlansi showed a cruel expression, "I haven't done anything more cruel yet." She forged a metal pipe beside her into a shining long sword, which was very sharp at first glance. "Do you know what it means to be cut into pieces?" "You..." The stalker coughed up blood and lingered on, staring at the long sword in Yi'erlansi's hand.

  "Hey, move your mouth." Yi'erlansi said to the dog that was reluctant to bite, "If you don't move your mouth, you will be cut into pieces!" The dog looked at the stalker miserably, which meant that you should not blame me, I was also coerced. It's just a sausage, just a sausage. After hypnotizing himself, the dog bit it bravely.

  "Ah——!"

  On this day, in the city where the Eastern Command was located, a creature named eunuch appeared. The instigator was a girl with an angelic appearance and a devilish heart, and a coerced big dog.

  

Chapter 45: Infiltrating the Central

  After dealing with the stalker, Yi Erlan Si was in a good mood. He even hummed a little tune, clapped his hands, and skated very briskly. As for the coerced big dog, it has returned to its original place. It is estimated that it will move immediately.

  "Okay, we will see Sister Lisa soon!" Yi Erlan Si shouted, scaring all the people who were doing something in this deep alley. Those who were fighting in the wild outside saw Yi Erlan Si's smile of success on his face, and all shuddered. However, this could not affect Yierlansi's good mood. After all, she had been followed for a long time, and her mood could not be good. Finally, she got rid of the other party, and the dark clouds in her heart were blown away by the breeze.

  However, her good mood did not seem to last long. "Why don't you let me in!?" When she arrived at the Eastern Command, Yierlansi was unexpectedly blocked outside. She shouted angrily at the soldiers on guard, saying that she had already issued a national alchemist certificate.

  "I'm sorry, our lieutenant colonel is very busy and has no time to see you!" The soldier said to Yierlansi very proudly. "Lieutenant colonel? Has that bastard Mastan been demoted?" Yierlansi was very surprised to hear the news.

  "Mastan? Do you mean Roy Mastan?" The soldier asked puzzledly after hearing it.

  "Who else except him? Isn't he the head of the Eastern Command?" Yierlansi said to the soldier helplessly. It seems that Mastan is really unpopular. Even his own sentinels don't know their superiors.

  "He was transferred to the Central Command a week ago." The soldier replied, "The current commander of the Eastern Command is Lieutenant Colonel Elan." "Is that so?" Yierlan Si was a little depressed. "Then, may I ask if Lieutenant Eagle Eye, Lisa Hawkeye, is still here?" Although she knew that the possibility was not very high, she still asked. After all, Lisa still attached great importance to Mastan. If Mastan was transferred to the Central Command, then it was very likely that she would be transferred with him.

  "Well... it seems that she left with him." The sentry thought for a while and replied, "Well, since you have found out what you want to know, let's go quickly!"

  "Okay, okay!" Yierlan Si shrugged and turned away.

  He was transferred to the central government. Could it be that Mustang's actions are no longer tolerated by the president? As the head of state, he actually condoned the research of synthetic beasts, and there is obviously a very hidden organization behind him. Those androids are obviously in the same group with the president. From his attitude towards Edward in Tapris, it seems that he does not want his identity to be known, and even transferred himself who is very familiar with the composition of androids. It seems that the future of that guy is worrying!

  "Lieutenant Ross was killed by that bastard of the colonel!" Edward shouted angrily, "How do you want me to contact him!?"

  Although I don't like this perverted colonel, he has helped me after all. If it weren't for him, I would have been taken to the lair of the android. If the three androids are so powerful, then the man they call their father must be even more powerful. It seems that I have to be careful. Anyway, let's go to the central area first.

  After thinking about it, I'm afraid I can't take the train to the central area. It's very easy to be found out. But if I drive a car, where can I find a car? I don't want to run there again. What should I do? Should I rob? Or use some extraordinary means? But if I use alchemy to refine a car, I think even the master can't do it. Oh, it's really troublesome. It seems that I can only spend money to buy a car. Fortunately, I have enough savings. But I have to confirm whether the news of the sentinel is true.

  Yierlan Si did what she said. She first asked around in the city. After confirming that the news was true, she came to a deserted machinery market and bought a relatively old car. Then she used alchemy to repair it and made it so that she could drive fast. She drove madly to the center.

  After two days and one night of crazy running, Yierlan Si finally arrived at the center. She stored her car in a warehouse, put on a big windbreaker, wrapped herself tightly, and quietly came to the street. So how can I find Sister Lisa? I don't have any acquaintances here. And I finally found a few people I know, but I don't know where their homes are.

  After thinking for a long time, I still didn't know what to do. Yierlan Si was a little upset, so she bought a newspaper and sat down in a corner. She wanted to rest first and then think of a way. "This...!?" She suddenly saw a piece of news that surprised her. "Lieutenant Maria Ross, the murderer of Brigadier General Hughes Biss who was killed last month, has been confirmed and arrested." How is it possible! ?

  Yilan Si was very surprised by the news. No, although the contact time was not very long, Ross was definitely not that kind of person. He would never kill people without knowing the truth, and he was someone he was very familiar with. There was definitely something fishy about this matter! However, now he had no way to verify this matter.

  Wait! He could go to Biss's home, where his family was still there. Yes, that's it! Thinking of this, he pushed the hat on his head down, wrapped his coat to cover it up a little, and drove his car to Biss's home. Well, who is that person?

  Wen Li also saw the newspaper today. After learning that Brigadier General Biss had been killed, she felt very guilty. She had not yet thanked this nagging but very warm-hearted person. So she left the military hotel without telling anyone and went to Biss's home.

  Beep!

  At this time, a car horn sounded from behind. She subconsciously dodged to the side, but before she could get out of the way, a hand grabbed her belt and grabbed her. "Ah--!" She screamed, but before she could scream, another hand covered her mouth.

  "Shh! Don't be afraid, it's me. Yierlansi!" The car stopped, Yierlansi whispered, and then let Wen Li go.

  "Why are you dressed like this?" Sitting in the driver's seat, Wen Li confirmed that the guy in front of her was indeed the missing Yierlansi, and then she breathed a sigh of relief. "I sneaked into the central government secretly." Yierlansi replied in a low voice. Although her method could not hide the other party for too long, the time was enough for her, at least enough for her to tell the information to the pervert colonel and Sister Lisa. "Do you also want to go to Brigadier General Biss's house?"

  "Yes, Brigadier General Biss helped us so much. How could such a good person suddenly die?" Wen Li said with some sadness.

  After opening her mouth, Yierlansi finally did not tell Wen Li the details of Bis's death. The less she knew, the farther she would be from danger. Although it was a bit self-deception, she still did not want Wen Li to get involved in this chaotic and cruel time. "I'll drive you there." Yierlansi said, "I can't see anyone now." She paused, "By the way, has Edward also come to the Central?" It is unlikely that Wen Li would come here alone.

  "Yes." Yierlansi nodded.

  "That's easy. When the time comes, you can ask Edward to find Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Lisa Hawke and tell them that I have something important to tell them." Yierlansi looked around and said to Wen Li. Then he started the car and rushed to Brigadier General Bis's house. After arriving at Brigadier General Bis's house, Wen Li got out of the car. "Aren't you going?" Wen Li asked when she got out of the car.

  "It's better for me not to go in now. I can't tell you the details. Remember to let Edward inform Colonel Mustang." Yilansi shook her head and emphasized again and again. "The sooner the better. If you can come now, come here immediately."

  "Okay." Wen Li nodded. Although she didn't understand why Yilansi didn't want to go to Brigadier General Biss's house and sneak into the central government, she still agreed. After closing the car door, Wen Li walked towards Biss's house.

  Damn it! My situation is really bad now. It's too dangerous to contact Wen Li like this, but I have no other choice. Wen Li is already on the verge of danger, and Brigadier General Biss's family is not yet, so... Although I feel a little sorry for Wen Li, this is the best choice.

  Pulling down the car's sunshade, Yilansi looked out through the gap in the car and carefully felt the situation around. After about half an hour, there was a sound of metal hitting the ground outside. This is probably Edward and Al. Do you want to go out now? Forget it, let's wait a while. Although she was extremely anxious, Yilan Si still didn't go out. Now the most important thing for them should be to apologize to Bis's family. Although it was useless.

  About half an hour later, it was probably three or four o'clock in the afternoon. The gate of Bis's yard finally opened, and the sound of metal hitting the ground sounded again. Finally, she came out, and Yilan Si breathed a sigh of relief. Ding ding ding! The sound of the car door being knocked. Yilan Si confirmed that it was indeed Edward and the other two outside, and then opened the car door.

  "No one found them." Yilan Si asked.

  "No one is around." Edward replied. "Sister Yilan, have you completed your mission?" Al asked.

  "Humph, that mission is just an excuse for that bastard president to get me away from you." Yilan Si snorted coldly, "Okay, let's not talk about this, Edward, can you contact Colonel Mustang?"

  "Mustan..." Edward's face suddenly darkened when he heard this name, and he turned his head to the side and refused to speak.

  "I'm asking you!" Yilan Si asked angrily. "Well, Sister Yilan..." Al knew that Edward was still angry about Mustang killing Lieutenant Ross and could not forgive Mustang. "Huh, I didn't sneak into the Central Committee to see you throwing a tantrum!" Yilan Si lowered her voice and tried her best to hold back her anger.

  "Mustan killed Lieutenant Ross?" Yilan Si was shocked again when she heard the news, "That bastard!" She cursed with gritted teeth, but then she suddenly froze. No! It's too weird! I can see that there is something wrong here, and that bastard colonel can't fail to see it! Not to mention Sister Lisa.

  What's going on?

  

Chapter 46, Sudden Battle

  "Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Yierlan Si couldn't find a clue for a while, so he put this matter aside. "Listen, you two, don't believe that Jin #8226; Bright! This guy has problems. He is very likely in the same group with those artificial people."

  "This is impossible. When I was kidnapped, he came to save me." Al objected.

  "Save you? Just to save you, the president would actually come out in person? Don't you think it's strange?" Yierlan Si glanced at Edward, "I think Edward should have thought of it, right?" Edward didn't say anything, but the expression on his face had already represented his acquiescence. "How is it possible?" Al obviously couldn't believe it.

  "After he took me outside, he didn't assign me any tasks, but just didn't allow me to contact you again." After seeing that Al didn't object again, Yilan Si continued, "So I traveled casually, preparing to come back quietly after he relaxed his vigilance against me. But this guy sent people to follow me."

  "Could it be that those artificial people followed you?" Edward asked.

  "No, no." Yilan Si shook his head, "It was a synthetic beast, but I still dug out a lot of things from this guy's mouth, that guy was created by a guy they called 'Father'. Those artificial people seem to obey that 'Father'. The synthetic beast that followed me was created by 'Father'. The synthetic beast obeys the president, and the artificial people obey 'Father'. I don't believe that this president has no relationship with that 'Father'!"

  Edward and Al were all dumbfounded and stunned by the news. They couldn't imagine that the head of this country was actually in the same group with those artificial people.

  "Well, you know the news." Yierlansi sighed after seeing the brothers' reaction. No matter who heard the news, it was impossible not to be surprised. "I risked coming to the central area because of this. This should be the place where those guys have the strongest power. I must leave as soon as possible, and you'd better tell Colonel Mustang the news as soon as possible." She looked at Edward's reaction, "If you don't want to see that guy, tell Lieutenant Lisa Hawke the news. And tell them to be very careful."

  "Oh, right." Yierlansi seemed to think of something again, "Winry, I remember I gave you a piece of titanium metal. Did you make a mechanical armor for Edward?" "Well, when I came out, grandma was studying how to make high-quality alloys. I think it should be almost finished." Wen Li replied

  "That's good." Yierlansi turned her head and said to Edward, "Let's play a scene. Although they should all understand what's going on, at least they can't deal with you on the surface." "Ah, what?" Edward was stunned. "Asshole!" Yierlan Si's face suddenly changed, and then she punched Edward out of the car.

  "Ah, Ed!" Winry yelled.

  "Brother!" Al was also surprised.

  "You asshole! What are you doing?" Edward said, covering his face. "

  I'm telling you, from today on, Winry belongs to me! You, don't come to Winry to repair the mechanical armor in the future!" Yierlan Si jumped out of the car, rushed to Edward, and punched him again. This time Edward dodged quickly. "Okay, you idiot. In order to temporarily get rid of suspicion, you have to do this." Yierlan Si lowered her voice as she passed by Edward. "Take Al and Winry away!"

  "Uh..." Edward finally understood a little bit why Yierlan Si punched him. But what did she mean by saying that Winry would be hers from now on? I don't understand.

  "Yilan, what are you doing?" Winry got out of the car, and she still didn't understand what was going on. "Sister Yilan, what happened?" Al was also puzzled.

  Yilan Si did not answer, but was busy with Edward's "fierce" fight. At this time, Edward seized a "gap" of Yilan Si and came to Al and Wen Li, grabbed the two people, turned around and ran. "I will not hand Wen Li to you!" Edward shouted frantically. Although he still didn't understand, Edward still shouted very cooperatively.

  "Huh, so they won't be in any danger for the time being." Yilan Si breathed a sigh of relief. Although the play she and Edward played was very fake, those guys would not directly expose this fake play before they broke up with them. But what should I do? The president of the central government will definitely come to trouble me. I can't go to Ai Sa either. She is already in danger and I can't cause her any more trouble. Looking at the east, Yilan Si showed some nostalgia. It has been ten years.

  Do you want to go back and take a look? She stroked her chest and said.

  Hmm? Wait, what is that? Could it be a signal smoke? In this season, who would use a fire to keep warm? Yierlan Si frowned, instinctively telling herself that something must have happened there. Let's go and take a look. Anyway, she has nothing to do. It seems that the fire has just been extinguished, so the person should still be there.

  Starting the car, Yierlan Si drove quickly in that direction.

  There were no people on the street, and Yierlan Si was surprised that there was no obstruction. She soon arrived at the place where the smoke was lit. "Is it here?" Yierlan Si looked at the extinguished fire. At this moment, a foul smell suddenly came from the side. "Wow!" Yierlan Si was choked by the smoke and quickly dodged to the side. I saw a ragged guy rushing past Yierlan Si's previous position. It seemed that his target was not Yierlan Si, but rushed to a building in front.

  "This guy..." Yi'erlan Si didn't know why, she felt that this guy was a little strange, so she followed him.

  At this time, Lieutenant Lisa Hawke, who was in a commanding height, saw Yi'erlan Si and was shocked. Why did she come? She was a little surprised, but it was too late for her to stop Yi'erlan Si. She had a good back, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? Don't think too much, just stay here and provide fire support. At least that way, when she is in danger, I can help.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Suddenly, there was a fierce fight and gunshots in the building. Yi'erlan Si heard the sound and immediately entered the combat state. He directly unfolded the silk scarf in his right hand with alchemy and pulled the bow of wind.

  Clang!

  At this time, the guy with the bad smell rushed out from the window, and then the door was opened. A guy wearing a mask and holding a pistol also ran out, and a guy who seemed to be Mustang's subordinate, who seemed to be called Farman, also ran out. Just when Yilan Si thought there was no one left, a strange armored man also ran out. This guy seemed to be very similar to Al, and did not have the aura of a living person... Although his perception ability was not very good and he was not very skilled, Yilan Si could still perceive at this close distance.

  It seemed that he was attacked by this guy with the bad smell. Yilan Si quickly figured out the situation.

  "Wow!" The guy with the stench screamed a few times, and then rushed forward again. The guy wearing the black mask fired, but the guy with the stench quickly dodged and jumped high to rush towards the black mask. However, at this time, the black mask's pistol was unlucky and the bullets were jammed. The guy named Farman and the armored man behind him were obviously too late to support.

  Bang! Whoosh!

  Almost at the same time, the right hand of the guy with the stench was pierced by a bullet, and the left shoulder was pierced by the wind arrow of Yierlan Si. The black mask escaped death. "Oh, it's really bad to have only the three of you." Yierlan Si walked over. "You seem to be called Farman, right? Who are these two guys?" She pointed to the black mask and the armored man next to her.

  "You... You are Miss Hoynent!" Farman was surprised to see Yierlan Si.

  "Yeah, that's right." Yierlansi looked in a direction, "I think the shot just now was from Sister Lisa." "Yeah, yes." Farman replied, "This is Barry, this is Lieutenant Ha...!" Farman seemed to suddenly realize that Lieutenant Haberk wore a black mask to avoid revealing his identity, so he shut up in time.

  "Okay, forget about these, anyway, they are your comrades, and this guy with a bad smell is your enemy, right?" Yierlansi nodded, and then pointed at the strange man who looked like an orangutan on the ground.

  "Hey, hey!" The guy in armor didn't seem to care about Yierlansi who suddenly appeared, but shouted wildly at the guy with a bad smell, "Is it fake? How should I put it, as expected! This body is mine!" He suddenly waved his knife and shouted wildly, "Those guys actually used the souls of experimental animals to fill my body!"

  "What's going on? I don't understand at all." Farman looked at this guy in surprise.

  "So that's how it is. I understand." As an alchemist, Yilansi quickly understood what was going on. "It should be your ** that came to ask for your soul."

  "Hahahahaha...!" The armored man named Barry suddenly laughed crazily. "The world is so big that there are all kinds of things! But it's impossible to chop your own body as much as you want! Hahahahaha..."

  Yilansi was very sad. This guy was actually happy about such a thing. It was really, how to say it.

  "The first person I killed was my wife." Barry laughed crazily. "Now it's just like that! The turmoil of the soul is still unforgettable! Do you know? I'm completely addicted and can't extricate myself! I want to kill people so much! Do you know? You can't know!"

  "Isn't it natural to return to my body?" Farman said another stupid thing.

  "That body is no longer usable." Yierlan Si said on the side, "Different souls and bodies are not completely compatible. After a long time, there will be a rejection reaction, just like this guy will rot."

  "I was wondering why I kept smelling a foul odor just now." Farman showed an expression of "I see.

  " "Your own body will deal with it! Don't interfere!" Barry said, and rushed up.

  

Chapter 47, Battle with Man-Made Man

  Bang! At this time, there was another gunshot. But Barry's gun didn't react at all, could it be an accidental discharge? Yierlan Si thought to himself, but then, Yierlan Si laughed, how could it be possible, Sister Lisa's shooting skills are so accurate, how could it be... an accidental discharge! She suddenly jumped up, rushed to the second floor, and rushed to the tower where the gunshots were just heard. If there was no accidental discharge, then there was only one answer! She encountered the enemy at close range!

  After realizing this, Yierlansi jumped continuously, leaping quickly between the windowsills between the buildings.

  "Really amazing!" Farman said stupidly again. Haberk, who was standing aside, almost rolled his eyes, thinking that this guy was really not used to actual combat! He actually had the mind to observe others at this time.

  After Yierlansi rushed to the commanding height, the very fat guy, who seemed to be called Granit, was grabbing Lisa Hawke with both hands, opening his mouth wide, trying to eat the other party. Yierlansi saw it, and directly sent a wind arrow to shorten the arms of this guy Granit, saving Lieutenant Hawke.

  "Sorry, I'm late." Yierlansi said to Hawke, "Leave this to me." "Be careful, this guy is immortal!" Hawke said breathlessly, and pointed a pistol at Granit. She would not let Yierlansi deal with him alone.

  "Don't worry, I know it very well." Yierlansi said.

  At this time, Granit had regenerated his broken arms and rushed up again. "Get out!" Yierlansi dodged Granit's arms and punched Granit's face hard, hitting this guy from mid-air and flying backwards.

  Hawke on the side was very surprised. She didn't expect that Yierlansi's thin body would have such great strength, almost comparable to Armstrong. But then she thought of what happened that night and felt relieved. "Be careful." She said to Yierlansi.

  "Yeah, no problem." Yierlansi turned around and showed Hawke a very motivated expression, then jumped directly from the tower. Granit fell to the ground at this time and had completely recovered.

  "What are you doing? Granit! Come and help... me!" Enbi, who was standing aside, was already tired of dealing with the masked guy, but he immediately saw Yierlansi jumping down from the tower. "Is it you!?"

  "No one came back to help you! You bastard!" Yierlansi of course saw Enbi, and pulled the wind bow very quickly in the air, shooting several wind arrows at Enbi.

  "Wow!" While Enbi was busy dodging the wind arrows, he was hit again by the masked guy and was killed once. "Damn it, it seems that I have to escape first and find another opportunity to turn the tide." After Enbi was resurrected, he turned into a dog and wanted to escape. But it seems that he did not deceive the masked guy. "No matter how you change, you can't fool me." A very clear voice, as if it was a woman.

  "Damn it!" Enbi's eyes were shot by a kunai, and he returned to his original state again, but then he saw the person he didn't want to see. "Wow, this guy's outfit is so strange." One of the guys who had braids and strange clothes like Edward looked at Enbi and said. "Ah, that was..." Al pointed at Enbi who had changed back from a dog in surprise.

  "Can I eat them?" Granit on the side shouted at his finger. "Of course, I want to eat them all." Enbi said with a ferocious face. Granit heard Enbi say that he could eat them all, and he opened his mouth very happily.

  "You are now at the end of your rope." Yierlansi walked over with a chuckle.

  "Damn it, I'm going to kill you!" Enbi stood up from the ground again, and then gritted his teeth and said.

  "Wow, another powerful guy." The guy with braids next to him grinned. "Since you know how powerful he is, get out of the way!" Yierlan Si walked around in front of these guys and blocked them behind her. "How can you talk to the young master in this tone!" The masked woman said angrily.

  "Although your hands should be good." Yierlan Si did not look back, "But, I just happened to have some grudges with these guys. If I really can't beat them, it won't be too late for you to come and help." Before she finished speaking, she rushed out in a flash and punched Enbi.

  Boom!

  Enbi dodged in panic, but the broken wall behind him was smashed to pieces by Yierlan Si. Everyone was shocked after seeing this scene. "Humph, good hiding!" Yierlan Si snorted coldly when she didn't hit Enbi. "But don't think that's the end of it." Before he finished speaking, a very sharp stalagmite grew out of the broken wall very quickly, piercing Enbi's stomach directly and nailing him to the wall of the building behind him.

  "Wow!" Enbi spat out a mouthful of blood and died, then resurrected again. Although he would not really die, he would still bleed and feel pain. "Asshole, Granit. Come and save me!" He shouted to Granit. Granit saw it and hurriedly jumped over, licked the stalagmite with his tongue, digested the stone, and rescued Enbi. But at this moment, a wind arrow cut this guy directly into two pieces.

  "What? When you caught me, weren't you very proud?" Yierlan Si pulled the wind bow with the wind arrow on it, and said coldly to Enbi.

  "Asshole!" Enbi looked at Yierlan Si with gritted teeth, not daring to act rashly. Granit resurrected again and rushed towards Yierlan Si. "I'm going to eat you!" he yelled. "Tsk, you guys are really hard to deal with!" Yilansi didn't conduct targeted research on the Philosopher's Stone, so she couldn't directly destroy the Philosopher's Stone of these guys. If she did, they wouldn't be able to revive. "I'm going to cut you into pieces!" As she said that, she pulled the Wind Bow with her left hand continuously, shooting several Wind Arrows, cutting Granite into pieces.

  "Sister Yilan, be careful!" Al exclaimed from behind.

  Yilansi was surprised. It turned out that Enbi rushed to her while she was attacking Granite. It seemed that he thought Yilansi's melee ability was not strong.

  "Well, this guy looks strong?" said the guy with braids. "Fortunately, he is not an enemy."

  Yilansi couldn't dodge in time, and was hit in the abdomen by Enbi, and flew out directly. Boom! He fell into the ruins all of a sudden. "Sister Yilan!" Al screamed and ran over. "Uh..." The braided man just finished saying that the other party was powerful, and then he saw that the other party had been knocked out, feeling very embarrassed.

  "Kill you!" Enbi rushed forward without stopping.

  Whoosh! At this time, another wind arrow shot out. Enbi quickly dodged to the side. Although he could be resurrected after being killed, it was better not to get hurt. After all, getting hurt was not pleasant. Seeing that Yierlansi was fine, Al was relieved, but at this time, he saw Colonel Mustang and Lieutenant Hawke and a few others, who seemed to be chasing something, so he followed them.

  "Huh, I didn't expect that you have such great strength in such a thin body." In fact, when Enbi's fist came, Yierlansi had already started to dodge. When he found that he couldn't dodge in time, he used the Thousand-pound Pendant, but was still knocked out in an instant. "Besides, your fist is really hard enough." She licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, "It seems that your body should be quite big."

  "Did you find it?" Enbi was stunned, then smiled, and then narcissistically touched her face with her hand, "But I still like this look, young and beautiful."

  "Huh, you are really narcissistic." Yierlansi took a breath of cold air, huh, it really hurts! It seems that the long-range wind bow cannot be used. "I want to eat you!" At this time, Granite recovered again and rushed over directly. Yierlansi stepped back, put her hands together, and then pressed on the drainage pipe on the wall of the room next to her, and directly pulled out a long sword. She lowered her body, took advantage of the situation, and directly split Granite into two pieces, then walked forward a few steps. "I forgot to tell you that I am a master of swordsmanship!"

  "Oh, Lanfang, did you find it?" The braided man suddenly said to the masked woman next to him.

  "Yes, her movements have the shadow of our Xin country's martial arts, but there are other things mixed in." The masked woman nodded and answered.

  Yierlansi sneered and walked towards Enbi. Granite behind him revived again and pounced on Yierlansi relentlessly. Yierlansi lowered her body, put the long sword on her back, and did a front flip, cutting Granite into two pieces again. "Back arc slash!?" Lan Fang exclaimed, "She can use it with a sword. Isn't she afraid of hurting herself?"

  "If the swordsmanship reaches a certain level, the sword is like your own body. Will you hit yourself?" Yierlansi has good ears and answered loudly, then she looked at Enbi, "Well, how about it? Do you want to fight with me?" In the previous life, I was also a swordsmanship master. Although I was often experimented by my father, I still had some time for myself, such as going to school. At that time, I did think about escaping, but no matter how I ran, I would be caught back, and then what was waiting for me was a more severe test. As time went by, he gave up and started to do something to divert his attention. So, from that time on, he began to learn swordsmanship. Up to now, he has been learning for nearly 20 years.

  

Chapter 48, East

  "Wow! Lan Fang, give me back the knife!" The braided man ran frantically, and behind him was Granit. At this time, a long sword cut off Granit's head. "I said, you don't have to help!" Yierlan Si looked at the braided man who used his knife to rescue Lan Fang, while he was chased by the enemy.

  "You don't have to be so ruthless?" The braided man said with a miserable expression.

  "You bastards, you keep embarrassing me!" Enbi roared with a ferocious face. Originally, he and Granit had the ability to defeat Yierlansi, but the guys next to them saw through it and came to help. As a result, he and Granit were killed more than ten times.

  "What are you doing!?" At this time, a strange voice came over. "Enbi, I didn't ask you to come here to make a fool of yourself in public! The enemy has invaded the core!"

  "What!?" Enbi was shocked to hear the news.

  "Okay, leave quickly! Go back to the center!" The voice continued.

  "Damn it! You are lucky today!" Enbi picked up his clothes and said viciously to the braided man and Yierlansi, then called Granit and disappeared into the darkness.

  "Huh, I finally saved my life." The braided man breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

  "Okay, then I should leave too." Yierlansi also took a breath. If she continued to fight like this, she might become a man-made person. She touched her heart unconsciously. "This is for you." She threw the sword to the man with braids, "Don't let others save you all the time." After saying that, she returned to her car and drove away.

  "Huh, there are so many interesting people in this country." The man with braids wiped the sweat off his face.

  After getting on the car, Yilan Si left the center without stopping. I guess by now, Al should have told Sister Lisa and Colonel Mustang everything he said.

  So where should I go? She unconsciously looked to the east again. Then she sighed. Should I go there and take a look? Go? Or not? For a moment, Yilan Si hesitated. Although hesitating, Yilan Si still drove to the east.

  "We've arrived in Lisable!" Yilan Si took a train from the city where the Eastern Command was located and went to Lisable. Although he was still a little confused, his body did not stop and continued to sneak eastward until he arrived in Lisable.

  "Oh, really." Yierlansi sighed and got off the train. It was very tiring to sit on the train for a long time, and she was the kind of person who hated traveling by train but had to travel.

  "Hello, stationmaster." At this time, a familiar voice came. "Oh, where is your brother?" The stationmaster looked at the dwarf in front of him with his eyes wide open. "He was left in the central government. In fact, I was kidnapped." The other party answered helplessly. Although he was kidnapped, this guy did not feel like a hostage.

  "Hey, who is so powerful? He can kidnap the famous Fullmetal Alchemist!" Yierlansi walked over. What a coincidence.

  "Ah, it turns out to be Miss Hoynent." Armstrong saluted Yierlansi. "Hello, Major." Yierlansi looked at Edward in confusion, "Why did you come here? Edward's mechanical armor is not broken. And Winry is also in the center, so if you want to repair it, you don't have to come back, right?"

  "In fact, I don't know." Edward grinned and shrugged.

  "Since Miss Hoynent is here, let's go together." Armstrong said. "Where to?" Yierlansi asked curiously. It would be good if he could find a reason not to go to the East. "You will know when the time comes." Armstrong said mysteriously, and then he walked out first. Yierlansi and Edward looked at each other, both confused, shrugged, and it seemed that they had to follow him. Anyway, this guy would not hurt us.

  After walking for a while, Armstrong led the two people to an intersection and stopped. "Well, this should be the right place." He muttered in a low voice.

  "Hey, Major Armstrong, hello." At this time, a man appeared from the intersection and saluted everyone. "And Edward, hello to you... um? Ah, hello to Miss Hoynnt." He didn't expect that Irlan Si would be here.

  "Hello, Lieutenant Brida!" Armstrong also saluted. "Are you also going to accompany me to repair the mechanical armor?" Edward asked boredly. "I don't have time to accompany you to do such boring things." Lieutenant Brida said, and then he came to Armstrong and whispered, "Do you want to take her with you too?" He pointed at Irlan Si.

  "It doesn't matter." Armstrong nodded and replied.

  "Well, please follow me." After hearing this, Brida immediately led the way in front, and the others continued to move forward. Soon, the four people came to a very remote room.

  "Hello." The door was opened, and inside was an old man wearing black sunglasses and a goatee. "He's the one who's in charge of immigration and exit," Brida pointed at the old man and said, "His name is Mr. Han." Then she introduced the three people to the old man. "You're from Xin, right?" Yilansi looked at the old man and asked.

  "Yes, that's right," Mr. Han replied with a smile. "Thank you for your guidance. Old Hu has told me everything."

  Yilansi suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart, and felt that she couldn't escape this trip to the East. Thinking of this, Yilansi nodded to Mr. Han, "If you think my name is not easy to pronounce, you can also call me Murong Weiyang."

  "This name is really rare," Mr. Han said a little surprised, "I think only the Cha tribe has the surname Murong." "Really?" Yilansi smiled, "Unfortunately, I'm not from Xin, and I've never been to Xin. But maybe I'll go and have a look when I have time in the future."

  "Really?" Mr. Han smiled and said nothing more.

  "Mr. Han, about the route to go abroad..." Brida asked Mr. Han. "Going abroad? I don't have a passport." Edward asked a stupid question. "Stupid, if you use a passport, it will leave traces." Brida said impatiently, a child is a child. "That's just stealing..." Before Edward could finish his words, Brida and Armstrong covered his mouth. Yilansi looked at Edward and shrugged with a smile. When she saw this guy called Mr. Han, Yilansi had a hunch, but she didn't expect it to be true. "

  You bastards!" Edward pulled the hands of the two people apart, then sat down at the table, put his right hand on the table, and his left hand behind his back, and questioned, "I don't know what your intentions are, but if it's meaningless, then I won't forgive you!" Although he was accusing them of something, Edward did smile, because he knew that Brida was Mastan's subordinate. Now that he had calmed down, he thought that Mastan must have done this for a reason. "Where are we going?"

  "The East!" Brida and Armstrong answered together.

  "Huh, I knew it." Yilansi said helplessly. "Well, how do we go? If we really need to find a way in the desert, I can still do it." The three people were a little surprised to hear what Yilansi said. "Don't be so surprised, okay," Yilansi smiled, "Because I grew up in an oasis in the desert." However, that smile seemed very bitter.

  "We are going to pass by the Hefante Oasis," Mr. Han replied, "Just follow me, I have lived in the desert for decades." Are you trying to steal my job? The old man was a little angry with Yilansi.

  "Hefante?" Yilansi heard the name, and his expression was unnatural for a moment, but it quickly changed back. Although it was a short time, Edward still saw it. Is there something wrong with that Hefante? He thought so.

  "Okay, we will set off the next morning." Lieutenant Brida said, "We have prepared food, water, and horses." "Horses? Why not camels?" Yilansi looked at the seemingly rough lieutenant with some confusion. "Well, it's hard to find camels now." Mr. Han answered for Brida. "Ever since the people who raised camels in the Hefant Oasis disappeared ten years ago, the camels disappeared with them."

  "Did they migrate away?" Armstrong asked curiously. Edward also looked curious.

  "No, according to the first explorer who discovered that there were no people there, there were only no people and other animals, and all the other daily necessities were there." Mr. Han denied this conclusion. "If they were migrating, why didn't they take the daily necessities away? Also, although people didn't pass through the Hevant Oasis as frequently as they do now ten years ago (if there were any, it would have been you guys who stowed away, right? Edward thought to himself.), it was a rare place suitable for survival in the desert at that time. Why did they leave?" Yilansi's face became worse and worse, and her hands were shaking.

  "Hey, Miss Hoynent. What are you doing? Don't run around!" Armstrong saw Yilansi walking inside and hurriedly chased after her. "Wait here for a while." He chased after her and turned back to say to Edward and others.

  "It's really strange." Brida interrupted Mr. Han's explanation. "But these have nothing to do with our trip to the East this time, right?" He saw Yilansi's pale face and shaking hands. "Are you okay, Miss Hoynent?"

  "What's wrong with you?" Armstrong asked with concern.

  "No, nothing." Yilansi turned and walked to the door. "I'm going to rest first. I'll come at five o'clock tomorrow morning." After saying that, she left.

  "What's wrong with her?" Edward asked curiously.

  "Who knows what's going on?" Armstrong also felt it was very strange.

  "She has been a little strange since we started talking about the Hefante Oasis," Brida said.

  "Speaking of the surname Hoynent," Mr. Han suddenly said, "I remember that when I went to the Hefante Oasis more than ten years ago, there seemed to be someone with this surname there."

 

Chapter 49, Sad Reunion

  The next morning, Edward, Armstrong and others had already gotten up. They had to move as soon as possible because they were heading east. "Didn't that guy say he would come at five?" Edward looked around the room, but didn't see Yierlansi.

  "Well, I'll go check it out." Armstrong said, and then opened the door.

  "Are you up already? Let's go." Yierlansi was leaning against a tree outside the room. When she saw Armstrong push the door and come out, she said in a low voice. "Hey, are you okay?" Armstrong saw that Yierlansi was a little strange.

  "What can I do?" Yierlansi said without turning her head.

  "Then let's go." Mr. Han led the horse over, and food and water were already prepared on the horse. "We have to put on coats after entering the desert, otherwise we will be sunburned by the scorching sun." He pointed to the coat on the horse.

  "Oh." Edward nodded, picked up his coat with everyone else, and then got on the horse.

  "Ugh, it's so hot!" Although wearing a coat slightly reduced the direct sunlight, Edward was still choking with the heat.

  "How can a young man be like this? Look, Miss Hoynent is fine." Armstrong said with some blame. "Hey, I have steel hands and feet!" Edward said dissatisfiedly with a sweaty face, "The accumulated heat above is about to burn me."

  "Oh, yes. Sorry." Armstrong finally reacted.

  "Mr. Han, where are we?" Lieutenant Brida asked the old man who was leading the way.

  "We are almost at Hevant." Mr. Han pointed to the shadowy place in front. "We can rest there. There's water there," he said. "We can refill our water there and then continue on." "Aren't we going to spend the night there?" Lieutenant Brida looked at Hevant in the distance through a telescope. "It looks like we won't get there until late."

  "Well, we'd better not spend the night there," said Mr. Han. "Since the people there disappeared ten years ago, no one has settled there. There's a legend that the people there angered the gods, so they were punished by heaven..." "If you only know a little bit, don't talk nonsense!" Yilansi interrupted Mr. Han. "Also, talk less in the desert and keep your body hydrated!"

  "Are you okay?" Armstrong looked at Yilansi in confusion. "What are you angry about?" Brida and Mr. Han also looked at Yilansi in confusion, while Edward continued to fight the heat.

  "Let's go," Yilansi said, suppressing her inner restlessness.

  Hefante... Ten years ago... Yierlansi bit her lips tightly. She would never forget that nightmare moment. Her hands were clenched tightly and turned pale. "Go!" She suddenly kicked the horse's belly. Although the horse under her crotch was also very tired, it still reluctantly accelerated. Yierlansi rushed to the front of the crowd.

  "Hey, don't run around! It's hard to tell the direction in the desert!" Mr. Han shouted. But Yierlansi was getting farther and farther away. The four behind had no choice but to speed up.

  In Hefante, a middle-aged man who looked only in his thirties and a boy who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old stood in front of a room that had collapsed into ruins.

  "Master, why are we here?" The boy had brown hair, brown skin and red eyes. He was an Ishwell.

  "Because this is the master's home." The middle-aged man said calmly. He had black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and wore a white long coat. He looked at the ruins silently.

  "Where are your family members?" the boy asked.

  "I don't know." The middle-aged man sighed. "I come here every once in a while, but there's nothing." "So you left quietly just to come here?" The boy looked as if he had suddenly realized something. "Yes." The middle-aged man nodded. He looked at the sun setting in the west. "Sred, you have to know that everyone has a family. Even the old ones... I think you should understand."

  "Yes, of course I understand." As an Ishville native, the boy certainly understood.

  "Well, we're finally here." Edward was almost paralyzed at this time. After getting off the horse, he lay directly in the shade of the tree, motionless. "After strenuous exercise, you can't rest directly on the ground." Armstrong was also sweating a little, but it didn't matter to him. As for Brida and Mr. Han, although they were also very tired, they could still hold on. The horses, on the other hand, were exhausted from their recent galloping. They were all sweating like foam, and they all drank water by the stream.

  "I'm so thirsty." Edward stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and came to the stream. He put his mechanical armor arm in the stream to cool down, then splashed water on his face and drank some water. "Well, I'm finally resurrected." He stretched his waist and moved his body. Although he was very tired, he would feel better if he moved his body. "Hey, what did she do?" He pointed at Yilansi who was walking towards the inside of Hefante.

  This is Hefante, my former home, the place where I used to live... Feeling the restlessness of the thousands of souls in his body, Yilansi looked at this place in a daze, and walked forward slowly and unconsciously. Even if the soul was exchanged with himself, did he leave his feelings here? Yilansi pressed his eyes and let the tears flow down.

  "Yilan! You can't bully your brother!" "No, he's so stupid!"

  Memories formed fragments and kept coming. "Damn it!" Yierlan Si put down her hands, clenched her fists tightly, and shouted angrily. Armstrong was about to speak from behind, but when he saw Yierlan Si's expression, he finally stopped.

  seemed to have exhausted all of Yilansi's strength. She knelt on the ground with her head down and her hands on the ground. "If you are sad, it's better to cry." At this time, Mr. Han said. Brida and Edward were not worried, so they followed and saw Yilansi's painful look.

  No! I am not Yilansi! I am just a lonely soul from another world... But why does my heart hurt so much! Although she kept telling herself that she was not Yilansi, she still couldn't stop herself from being sad. Yes, although the soul has changed, but my heart, blood, and memory are all inherited from Yierlansi, even the name is inherited...

  "You have to inherit all of this and live well. Although it is very willful, it is me who killed my mother and brother, as well as the villagers. If you do something wrong, you must be punished." The little girl said this to herself when she was undergoing human transformation and trying to restore her original gender and appearance, but failed and was taken to the gate of truth. "My punishment is to pay the price for you. Your punishment is to become me and live with everything I have." She laughed at the time, "Speaking of which, even if I pay my soul, I think it's a good deal!"

  "Damn it!" Yierlansi hit the ground heavily.

  The four people next to her were at a loss. Seeing that Yierlansi did not respond to Mr. Han's words, they didn't know what to do, so they had to wait stupidly by the side.

  "You go back, let me be alone and quiet."

  After a long time, Yierlansi suddenly spoke calmly. "Are you okay?" Armstrong asked hurriedly. Edward, Brida, and Mr. Han all looked at Yilansi. "I'm fine. I just want to be quiet for a while. I'll be back soon." Yilansi was unusually calm. "

  Okay, you must come back soon." Armstrong knew that it would be better for them to leave for a while, so he nodded, gave a few instructions, and then returned to the stream with the other three people.

  Yilansi stood up slowly, and the tears on her face had dried. There is no need anymore. This is no longer my home. She said this to herself, and then slowly walked in one direction. Maybe I will never come back again? Finally, let's say goodbye. At least...

  "Let's go." The middle-aged man stayed in front of the ruins for a long time, and finally sighed and said. What happened during the time he was away? Why did all the people here disappear? These two questions seemed like nightmares, haunting him all the time.

  "Who is it!" Sred shouted very vigilantly at this time.

  A girl slowly walked around another ruin and appeared in front of the two. "Who are you?" Sred asked vigilantly. But the other party did not respond, but her eyes were fixed on his back. Sred looked back at his back with some doubts, and found that his master seemed to be stupid, looking at the girl over there. "You

  are..." The middle-aged man hesitated and said

  these words. "Behrman#8226;Hoinent..." Yierlan Si said these words with difficulty.

  "You are... Yilan? You are Xiao Yilan!" The middle-aged man said excitedly. "I finally found you."

  "Found me?" Yierlan Si lowered her head, and her expression could not be seen, but her tightly clenched fists revealed her current mood. "Go to hell--!" She shouted angrily, and then rushed up directly.

  Berman was dumbfounded. He could not believe that his daughter would kill him when she saw him. Sred would not watch his master being beaten, he rushed directly to Yilansi.

  Bang!

  Yilansi, who only had Berman in his eyes, was knocked away by Sred's punch and fell directly into the ruins. "Yilan!" Berman shouted worriedly, he nervously wanted to go over to see if his daughter was injured.

Chapter 50, the continuation of sorrow

  "You are not allowed to call this name!" Yilansi stood up from the ruins, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then walked towards Sred.

  "Don't even think about hurting the master!" Sred did not retreat at all. If he had never fought with others before, he was a little timid at the beginning, then with the punch just now, that trace of timidity had been completely lost.

  "Get out of the way!" Yilansi said coldly.

  "No!" Sred answered loudly.

  "I'll count to three. If you don't get out of the way, I'll kill you!" Yi'erlansi's body revealed murderous intent. "One, two..."

  "Three!" Sred said the number, and the firm look in his eyes revealed his determination. "Then don't blame me!" Yi'erlansi exerted force on his feet, and suddenly came in front of Sred and punched him. Sred was surprised. He didn't expect that the other party would rush to him so quickly. So fast! But I'm not a pushover! Sred opened his left hand, grabbed the other party's fist, pulled it behind him, and then turned sideways, and hit Yi'erlansi's heart with his right elbow.

  Yi'erlansi saw this and bent down directly, avoiding the other party's right elbow, and his left shoulder hit Sred's lower abdomen directly. Sred was surprised, exerted force with his left hand, jumped with both feet, and retreated several meters directly. But before Sred's eyes could see a flash, Yierlansi's men were already in front of him, and his right fist directly hit his left chest and heart. Damn! He hadn't landed in the air yet, and there was no way to use the force!

  Bang!

  At this critical moment, Berman caught Yierlansi's fist. Sred saved his life.

  "Are you finally willing to come out?" Yierlansi pulled his fist back and said with gritted teeth. "Why?" Berman looked at his numb right hand, "You used inch force. If I was slower, Sred's heart would be broken." He looked at Yierlansi who was extremely angry and asked, "Why, why do you want to kill me?" "Why?

  " Yierlansi smiled, but the smile was very sad, "You actually asked me why? You still have the nerve to ask these questions!" She did several backflips backwards, put her hands together, and pressed them directly on the ground. The huge rock wave hit Berman and the other two directly.

  Boom!

  The huge sound of the rock wave startled the silent people beside the stream. "Wow! What a huge rock wave!" Edward looked at the rock wave in surprise. "Could it be Miss Hoynent?" Armstrong said. "Let's go over and take a look!" Brida said helplessly. It was a wrong decision to bring this guy here.

  So the four of them hurriedly ran towards the direction where Yierlansi was.

  Seeing such a huge rock wave, Sred thought he was going to die. But Berman grabbed his belt directly and took him out of the range of the rock wave with several consecutive jumps. Berman originally thought that the rock wave would continue to move forward, but less than three meters away from the ruins of his home, the rock wave gradually fell.

  "Miss Hoynent!" Armstrong shouted as he rushed to the front. Edward, Brida, and Mr. Han followed closely.

  "Miss Hoint, are you okay?" Armstrong looked at Yierlan Si standing there and ran over quickly. "Leave here." Yierlan Si said coldly. "What!?" Armstrong looked at Yierlan Si in surprise. He couldn't connect the murderous Yierlan Si in front of him with the lively and strong girl in the past.

  "I told you to leave!" Yierlan Si turned her head back and shouted ferociously.

  "Back off!" Mr. Han pulled the three people back. "Mr. Han, why did you pull me?" Edward was very puzzled. Although he didn't like this guy on the surface, he still admired him in his heart. He was very worried about Yilansi's current state.

  "If you stay there any longer, you might be killed." Mr. Han wiped his sweat and said. He didn't expect such a young child to have such a strong murderous aura. How many people has she killed? "How could this happen?" Edward was a little unconvinced. "I think only the major can stay there without being killed at this time?" Brida looked at Yilansi nervously and said.

  "Well, what exactly made her become like this?" Armstrong didn't have to worry about his own safety, so he was thinking about something very important.

  The huge rock wave fell back to the ground under Yilansi's control. "You are quite good at hiding?" She sneered at Bellman and Sled, "So what's next?" She put her hands together again and pressed them on the ground. Several huge rocks rose from the ground. On the side of the rocks, dozens of sharp stalagmites grew. Snap! Yilan Si's hand gently tapped the stone, and all those deadly stone spears were shot at Berman.

  Berman was shocked and hurriedly threw Sred behind him, then used a heavy weight and grabbed the ground with his feet. "Hey!" With both hands waving, he knocked the stone spears that were shot at him at a very fast speed to the side with just a pair of flesh palms. "Yilan, if you keep doing this, I will be angry!"

  "You are angry!" Yilan Si said coldly, "Then come and kill me!?" She finally shouted.

  "What happened back then?" Berman's intuition told him that Yilan Si's current behavior must be related to what happened back then.

  "Back then?" Yierlansi laughed sarcastically, "Back then? Do you want to know?"

  "Of course! After I came back, there was no one here." Berman said hurriedly, "What happened during the time I was away!"

  "What happened?" Yierlansi had a cruel smile on her face, "What could have happened? I just turned everyone here into the Philosopher's Stone." "What!?" Berman was stunned.

  Philosopher's Stone! ? Edward and Armstrong were shocked and looked at Yierlansi closely. They couldn't believe that Yierlansi would do such a thing.

  "Are you surprised?" Yierlansi seemed to like their frightened look. "If you hadn't come back so late, I think you would have been part of the stone. I just want you to reunite with your mother and brother."

  "Impossible!?" Even if Berman was angry and surprised after hearing the news, he couldn't believe that his daughter would do this. Although she was smart and naughty, she was also kind. "You were only seven years old at the time. How could you do it?"

  "Why can't I do it?" Yierlansi sneered. She used the broken stones on the ground to refine a dagger and directly opened a hole in her chest. Inside was a red stone. "See? This is the Philosopher's Stone, which was refined with the lives of everyone here!" Although blood flowed out, the wound healed completely very quickly. In her anger, she unconsciously stimulated the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

  At this time, Armstrong and Edward were already dumbfounded. They had no way of believing what they saw. So she was also a man-made person? Edward looked at Yierlansi blankly.

  "Red light! How beautiful..." Yilansi laughed crazily, but tears flowed from her eyes.

  "You bastard!" Berman could not convince himself to stop believing it, and he cursed angrily. Then he rushed to Yilansi and punched her hard, sending her flying. "How could you do that! They are your mother! Your brother! And your neighbor!" He came to Yilansi, who was lying on the ground, "You! How could you do that!" Berman's eyes flowed with tears. He felt very sad to hit his own daughter, but his wife and son...

  "Hahaha, do you feel pain?" Yilansi said with a smile.

  "You!" Berman grabbed Yilansi's collar and lifted her up. But in the next moment, he threw Yilansi out and jumped back to avoid Armstrong's fist. Edward and Brida caught Yilansi.

  "Although we don't know what happened, we believe her. She will never do that!" Armstrong put Yilansi behind him and said to Berman very seriously.

  Berman clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He looked at Yilansi through Armstrong. From the bottom of his heart, he also hoped that Yilansi was lying to him. "You are so stupid. Aren't you afraid that I will turn you into Philosopher's Stones? The formation here has not disappeared, and I have the ability to do that." Yilansi was placed by Edward and Brida against a wall, leaning against the wall.

  "It's not necessary, right? Besides, you are in the formation now." Edward came to Yierlan Si, "If you want to live forever, you have already done it." He stared at Yierlan Si with his eyes, "I will never believe that a seven-year-old girl has the ability to refine the Philosopher's Stone. Even if you have the relevant knowledge, you don't have enough physical strength to activate the formation. I am also an alchemist, and I am also an alchemist who has been learning and using alchemy since I was a child, so don't try to deceive me."

  After hearing Edward's words, everyone looked at Yierlan Si quietly, wanting to hear Yierlan Si's answer and figure out what was going on.

  "I didn't lie to you." Yierlan Si smiled self-deprecatingly. Berman's fist almost made her lose her fighting power. Now she can only lie here quietly. "The Philosopher's Stone in my body was refined by the people here."

Chapter 51, Father

  "Tell me! What happened?" Berman shouted excitedly.

  "I've already told you." Yierlansi sneered, "I turned everyone here into the Philosopher's Stone. What? Do you want me to tell you the process? But it's been too long, I can't remember it clearly."

  Snap!

  Armstrong slapped Yierlansi hard with his big hand. "Calm down, okay?" He said to Yierlansi, "Don't think we are all fools. I know how difficult it is to refine the Philosopher's Stone. How can a seven-year-old child do it?"

  "Tell me what happened." Berman was already begging.

  "I tell you! Can mother and brother be resurrected?!" Yierlan Si almost shouted at the top of his lungs, tears in his eyes gradually flowed down, and his whole body was shaking slightly. "Didn't you say that you would protect us? Where were you that day? "

  Facing Yierlan Si's questioning, Berman opened his mouth, but could not say anything. That time he went out to purchase daily necessities for Hefante. When he came back, he met an acquaintance and was delayed for a few days. When he entered the desert, he encountered a sandstorm and was delayed for a long time. As a result, he did not return on the birthday of his daughter and son. When he came back, Hefante was empty.

  "I remember, today is your birthday, right?" He said quietly for a long time, and then took out a small pendant from the small bag on his waist. The pendant was a jade disc with a beautiful alchemy array engraved on it, and a pendant made of white jade. "This jade pendant is a birthday gift I bought for you, and this white pendant is for Yier. Now that he is gone, I give it to you." His voice was a little choked, "It is a gift from your father that is ten years late."

  "It is no longer needed." Yierlan Si refused coldly, then she slowly stood up and turned to walk out. "I'm sorry, Major, Steel. I won't go to the East with you." She turned around and said, "You should leave here as soon as possible." After that, she walked out.

  Berman didn't know how to keep his daughter, but just stood there in pain with the two gifts. Edward and Armstrong also stood there, not knowing what to do. They didn't know what happened, and they didn't know where to start to resolve the grudge between the father and daughter.

  Plop!

  "Ugh!" Suddenly, Yilan Si felt her heart beating violently. She pressed her chest tightly. What was going on? Then, she lost consciousness.

  "Yilan?" Berman saw Yilan Si stopped, thinking that she had changed her mind, and hurried over. But Yilan Si suddenly punched him, but Berman was agile and dodged very quickly. "Yilan!" he shouted.

  But at this time, Yierlansi did not answer. There was no expression in her eyes, only coldness. On her forehead, there was an Ouroboros pattern, and on her body, there were also very complex alchemy arrays. There were more alchemy arrays than the last time in the center.

  "Ouroboros!?" Edward's eyes were sharp, and he saw the Ouroboros on Yierlansi's forehead at a glance. He hurriedly nodded to Major Armstrong and rushed over to pull Bellman back. "Mr. Han, Lieutenant Brida, you guys get out of the way." After Armstrong finished speaking to the two guys, he turned his head and shouted to the Ishwell man, "You also get out of here quickly."

  Yierlansi seemed to be in an unconscious state at this time, and just attacked those who were closer to her reflexively. After Bellman was pulled away by Edward and Armstrong for a certain distance, he began to stand there unconsciously with his head down and swaying.

  Just when people thought Yierlansi was just standing there motionless, she suddenly raised her head and rushed towards Armstrong. The speed was extremely fast. Armstrong dodged Yierlansi's claws dangerously, but his chest was still cut by Yierlansi's extremely sharp nails. "What's going on?" He said in surprise.

  "Her symbol is exactly the same as the symbol of the android in the center." Edward put his hands together and prepared to start alchemy. "In short, control her first and don't let her cause more damage!"

  "Okay!" Armstrong nodded, and then said to Bellman, "Mr. Hoynent, although I know it's rude to ask this, Miss Hoynent must be controlled first!" "...Okay." Bellman bit his lips and nodded.

  Ha! Yierlansi let out an unconscious low roar and rushed up again very quickly. Her speed was already very fast, and after becoming a android, it was ridiculously fast. If it weren't for the fact that she was in an unconscious state and had no will to support the use of alchemy, I'm afraid the situation would be worse.

  "Don't come over here, Sled!" Berman blasted the eager Sled aside. In this situation, only he could handle it completely. The big guy was very powerful, but not fast enough, and the small guy was very fast, but not strong enough. In pure physical combat, they all lost.

  Yierlansi's attack became more and more fierce and sharp, and the situation became more and more critical.

  "Well, what's going on?" Yierlansi opened her eyes and saw a huge door with the Tree of Life on top of the door. "What did you ask me to do?" She knew where she came to.

  "Ah, it seems that you can easily get into the state!" The black shadow seemed very happy.

  "Stop talking nonsense!" Yierlansi stood up from the ground. She didn't use alchemy, so how could she suddenly come here? "I didn't use any alchemy that would touch the soul. How did you call me here? And what did you call me to do?" "

  Really? But your chest was cut open, revealing the Philosopher's Stone. You subconsciously used the power of the Philosopher's Stone to heal that wound." Zhenli said with a smile. "You know, you don't have that kind of recovery speed before you become a complete artificial human."

  "I once performed alchemy on myself to change my limbs..." "Okay, I just want to tell you that I paid you in advance, so you have to help me complete the task. It's an equal exchange, isn't it?" Zhenli waved his hand to interrupt Yi'erlan Si's words, "You have to go east. I think there, you will definitely see something there. Of course, how much you can guess is your own problem."

  "Just tell me your purpose directly. Do you like to let others guess riddles?" Yi'erlan Si said with some gritted teeth.

  "Don't you think the process of guessing riddles is a fascinating thing?" Zhenli said with a laugh.

  "You are such a bastard!" Yi'erlan Si cursed fiercely. "Okay, I'll give you a little more reward, and the rest will have to wait until you completely guess what I'm going to do." After saying this, the truth snapped his fingers.

  "Asshole!" Before Yilan Si could figure out what was going on, she was pulled closer to the Gate of Truth by countless hands.

  "Do you feel that you are getting closer and closer to the truth?" Yilan Si heard the teasing words of the truth the moment she was dragged into the gate.

  Countless information poured into Yilan Si's mind, and her brain seemed to be torn apart. Unconsciously, she felt a little lost. No matter what she was like, she still seemed so fragile when facing absolute power. Truth, what is going on in this world? What exactly is this truth?

  Light? Yilan Si saw the light in the distance, no, not very far away, because it seemed that she could reach it with her hand. The light became stronger and stronger, and Yilan Si rushed in easily.

  "Puff!"

  What caught her eye was Bellman's body, and her arm was wrapped in something wet, and it seemed to be beating. The red stuff was all over the ground, and her body was also covered with blood.

  "It's okay, Yilan. It's okay." Berman said softly, trying his best to endure the pain. Seeing the pair of stunned eyes, he knew that his daughter had returned. Looking down at her right hand, Yilan found that her right hand was deeply inserted into Berman's abdomen, and most of the blood flowed out from there. Berman also had countless small wounds on his body. Looking at

  her left hand, with nails as sharp as knives, Yilan instantly understood what was going on. Turning her head, she looked at Edward and Armstrong, who were covered in scars, panting, and looking at Berman and herself in fear.

  "Dad is sorry for you, Yilan. It's Dad's fault. He shouldn't have come back so late." Berman apologized with tears, "Dad didn't keep his oath. Dad didn't save Mom and brother. Dad doesn't ask you to forgive me, but only hopes that you won't be in so much pain. I have already lost France and Il, and I don't want to lose you again."

  Seeing her father being so badly injured and still apologizing to her, Yierlansi could no longer hate her father. She raised her left hand and cut off her right hand from the wrist. "You! Cough! What are you doing!" Berman screamed when he saw his daughter's action. This action made him bleed a lot more, and Berman, who was already struggling to stand, fell down all of a sudden.

  "Dad!" He quickly supported his father and let him lie on the ground. Yierlansi's right hand regenerated quickly. As a man-made person, she could rely on the Philosopher's Stone to regenerate. If it was the usual state, her right hand would not be able to regenerate, but in this complete man-made state, Yierlansi's regeneration ability was no less than those of Enbi.

  She grabbed her father, tears kept flowing down, she was regretting. Yes, regret, in fact, she was just escaping, escaping from the responsibility of not being able to save her mother and brother, and so many neighbors because of her lack of ability. She wanted revenge, but the murderer was already dead, and there was no trace of his body. But the pain and sadness of losing her mother and brother kept haunting her. So, when she saw her father, she childishly thought that it was because her father did not come back that so many people died, although there was no connection at all.

  In this way, the object of revenge became her father, but she could not kill her father, so she had to provoke her father and let him kill her, so as to transfer the pain of losing her relatives.

  All of this was subconscious behavior, but when she saw that she had severely injured her father and was about to die, she realized that she was wrong. It turned out that she was just afraid that her father would blame her for not protecting her mother and brother. It turned out that she was only considering herself and her own feelings, but never considered how it felt to lose her wife and son, and how her daughter hated her father.

  It turned out that the most selfish person, the most afraid of death, and the most incompetent was herself.

  After understanding this, Yierlan Si couldn't help but shed tears. "Dad, I'm sorry, I..." She choked, "I didn't save my mother and Yier, I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." All of a sudden, all the long-suppressed emotions were vented. The pain of losing his mother and brother, the boredom of traveling constantly in childhood, the intrigues with all kinds of people in life, all of this, all came out.

  At this moment, nothing mattered. There was only his father, only the father who faced his unreasonable troubles, only the father who took all the responsibilities and pain on himself...

Chapter 52, I'm sorry

  "Don't... say sorry, this... is not your... fault." Seeing his daughter lying in front of him in pain, Berman knew that what happened that year must have been a big blow to his daughter. "Okay, okay..." The large amount of blood loss made Berman faint. Even if he was a powerful warrior, he was still a person. It was not easy for him not to die after being so seriously injured and losing so much blood. Of course, at this moment, he was not far from death.

  "Dad! Dad! What's wrong with you!? Dad!" Seeing that his father had lost consciousness, Yierlan Si shouted in panic.

  "Master! Master!" Sred broke away from Brida and rushed over. Just when Berman was injured by Yilansi, he wanted to rush over, but was restrained by Brida. Sred ran over and pushed Yilansi aside. If it weren't for Berman, he would have been killed by the country's army during the civil strife. It can be said that Berman gave him a second life. Seeing that Berman valued Yilansi so much, he felt a little jealous.

  Yilansi stared at her father blankly. She couldn't believe that her father, who had only met her for a short time, died like this. She touched her heart and slowly stood up.

  "Mom, please save Dad!" She whispered and walked to Berman again.

  Snap!

  Putting her hands together, the alchemy arrays on her body shone one after another. Then, on the ground, in the sky, and in the four directions of east, south, west and north, six alchemy arrays appeared.

  "Come out!" Edward saw it and rushed in quickly, knocking Sled out, then grabbed this guy and prevented him from entering the area of ​​the alchemy array.

  The light became brighter and brighter.

  "Please, save Dad! Mom!" Yierlan Si cried miserably, not wanting to lose again, not wanting to lose again, two lives to get that father's love, she didn't want to lose it again. She chose to use her mother's soul to save Dad. Mom!

  At that moment, the light of the alchemy array overshadowed the light of the sunset.

  Edward and Armstrong looked at all this in shock. Such a serious injury, such a large amount of blood loss, to be honest, it was too difficult to save. In addition to using the Philosopher's Stone, Yierlan Si had the Philosopher's Stone at this time. The alchemy array on her body, the six alchemy arrays, plus the Philosopher's Stone, if this can't heal Behrman, then there is no way to heal him.

  After the light, Behrman's wounds had completely healed, but there was still no sign of life. Yierlansi knelt beside him uneasily, stretched out her right hand and placed it under Berman's nose.

  No breathing...

  No way. He won't die!

  Yierlansi put her ear on Berman's chest in disbelief, listening to the heartbeat there.

  There was no heartbeat either...

  Yierlansi felt that all the strength in her body had disappeared, and tears flowed down again. Did she lose it in the end? Why? She looked at the sky. Why? Why did you let me see hope, and then take it away? Why! ?

  Everyone watched quietly, not knowing what to say. In such a situation, no one could say anything to comfort her. Because no words could save Yierlansi's pain of losing her father.

  "Ed, you really want the Philosopher's Stone, right?" Yierlansi said suddenly, her wooden eyes looking at Edward. He stretched out his right hand, opened his chest, and took out the Philosopher's Stone. "Just erase the soul mark on me. I think you should be able to do it, right?"

  "I won't do anything that sacrifices others to restore my own body." Edward didn't even look at the Philosopher's Stone, but looked directly into Yierlan Si's eyes very calmly. "So, I won't take your Philosopher's Stone."

  "Really? Not relying on sacrificing others to restore my body..." She looked at the Philosopher's Stone in her hand, "And I have survived to this day by sacrificing the lives of thousands of people. I am such a bastard..." She stretched out her left hand, extended her index finger, and pointed at the Philosopher's Stone. In this state, it should be decomposed, right?

  A stone hit Yierlan Si's right hand, and the Philosopher's Stone left her hand and returned to Yierlan Si's body. "You don't want to destroy the Philosopher's Stone, do you?" Armstrong quickly saved Yierlan Si's name with a stone. "Mr. Hoynent may not be dead yet." He walked over, first checked Berman's physical condition, and then knocked heavily on Berman's chest with both hands.

  "Heart pacemaker!" Yierlan Si was also confused by the situation. A series of things had hit her spirit so hard that she couldn't think anymore. Seeing Armstrong's actions, she remembered.

  "If a person's heart stops beating within three minutes, there is still a chance that he can be saved." Armstrong tapped several times and listened to Bellman's heartbeat again.

  Yilan Si looked at him nervously.

  "Although it's still very weak, I'm sure I heard the heartbeat." Armstrong said to Yierlansi with a smile.

  Yierlansi listened and hurriedly bent down to listen to Berman's heartbeat. Although it was very weak, she did hear it. A burst of ecstasy almost made Yierlansi faint with happiness, but she finally calmed down. "Water! Who has water? Give me some." She asked them.

  "I have some here." Mr. Han threw his water bag to Yi'erlan Si. He was in a hurry when he came here just now, so he didn't put down the water bag. Now it's just in time to use it. Yi'erlan Si took the water bag and directly activated alchemy, decomposing the water into hydrogen and oxygen, and then dispersed the hydrogen directly to one side, confining the oxygen to a small part of Behrman's head. "Major, please continue to gently squeeze my father's chest."

  "Okay." Armstrong nodded, and then gently and slowly squeezed Behrman's chest to help Behrman breathe. In fact, after Behrman's heartbeat recovered just now, his breathing had already recovered, but it was relatively weak. After

  a long time, Behrman finally recovered his normal heartbeat and breathing. Although he hadn't woken up yet, he was no longer in danger of life. It was just because of excessive blood loss that he needed to be properly nursed back to health.

  "Great, great, great, great, Dad, Dad..." Yilansi whispered unconsciously. The joy of her father not dying finally made her put down the heavy burden. Although tears kept flowing, they were also tears of joy. Sred looked

  at Yilansi and finally did not come over. Although he was very unwilling, at this moment, he also understood how sinful it was to disturb a person who was immersed in the resurrection of a loved one. Let her get away with it first! He told himself.

  "Okay, let's set up the tent first." Armstrong said.

  "Major, Elric, are your injuries okay?" Brida did not come to help because she was in the way and was not injured. Seeing that Armstrong and Edward had many wounds on their bodies, she asked hurriedly.

  "Nothing, just superficial injuries, they have all healed." Armstrong's injuries were not serious. Basically, they only scratched the epidermis, but they looked scary. "I'm fine." Edward was faster, so his injuries were less severe than Armstrong's.

  "Forget it, I'll go get the tent." Brida shook her head at the two men and said.

  "I'll go with him." Mr. Han said when he saw the two men were about to refuse. Although he was the smuggler here, he was not as vicious as most smugglers and still had a conscience.

  "I'll go get our blankets too." Sred seemed to say it to everyone, but he didn't say it to anyone.

  Soon, the tent was set up. Armstrong put Bellman in a relatively large tent, spread a thick quilt on the ground, and then covered it with two thicker blankets.

  "I'm sorry, Major, Ed." Seeing the wounds on Armstrong and Edward, Yilan Si said apologetically, no need to say. "What happened to you at that time?" Edward couldn't help asking, "And why did you also have an Ouroboros on your forehead? Are you a man-made man?" Armstrong also looked at Yilan Si with an inquiring look.

  "Let's go out first." Mr. Han naturally knew what he should know and what he shouldn't know, because only in this way can he get a longer time. After he came out, he pulled out the reluctant Sled.

  Facing Edward and Armstrong's questioning, Yilan Si looked at her sleeping father gently, and then smiled self-deprecatingly. "I am an artificial human, starting when I was ten years old." She said calmly, "Although it was not my own will, I can survive because of him." She looked at the two people who listened to her story very seriously. "I performed human transmutation when I was ten years old. Isn't it amazing? It is unique to be able to reach that level at the age of ten. At that time, if I wanted, my ability would be enough for me to become a national alchemist."

  "Did you succeed?" Edward heard that Yilan Si also performed human transmutation, and asked hurriedly.

  "Success? I performed the refining on living people, because I thought it was safer to do it before resurrecting my mother and brother. Their souls are in the Philosopher's Stone in my body." She said calmly, "It's better to accumulate experience before resurrecting important people. That's what I thought at the time. Oh, I was so stupid! Human body refining touches the soul. If you don't get infinitely close to the truth, it is possible to achieve it." "Then

  you saw the Gate of Truth?" Edward asked uncertainly.

  "Yes, the Gate of Truth." Yierlan Si nodded, "Thinking about it now, I really didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth at that time. Even now, I can't resurrect my mother and brother. How could I have done it at that time? I almost lost everything, my body and soul." She pointed at her body. At that time, if it wasn't for this Philosopher's Stone, I would have died...


Chapter 53, Memories of Childhood (Part 1)

  "Woo... I didn't die?" Murong Weiyang opened his eyes, his whole body ached, he sighed helplessly, facing a father who was already obsessed with science, death should be a relief for him. Although he could go to school like a normal person, once he was needed, he was taken to the laboratory and used as his father's experimental product. After all, there are many experiments that are best conducted on humans, but in today's human rights society, even death row prisoners cannot be used for experiments.

  However, as long as there are people, there will be darkness. Although it is expressly prohibited, many scientists with the support of the country still blatantly use people for experiments. If someone disappeared that day, then maybe they were abducted by the subordinates of those crazy scientists. Although the people also know something, there is no evidence, and the other party is supported by the country behind them, so what if there is evidence? Can the people fight against the officials? In today's society, everyone has been implanted with a tracking chip, and all are under the surveillance of the central supercomputer. Weapons and other things require the central supercomputer to deliver a password before they can be activated. It can be said that even if you are given this weapon, you have no way to use it.

  This era is no longer the era of starting from scratch and fighting for the world. It can be said that even if the so-called democratic governments now send troops to massacre civilians, the civilians have no way at all? Resist? Once you have this idea, it will be detected by the central supercomputer, and you will be brain dead directly.

  Under the surveillance of the supercomputer, the whole world is in a false democratic peace.

  Murong Weiyang is a helpless person in this world. Of course, he is even more unfortunate. When he was seven or eight years old, his mother died in an accident while his father was doing an experiment. His face could not be recognized. His father used the body of Murong Weiyang's mother as fertilizer for plant experiments because the experiment failed. Murong Weiyang fought, but all he got was more experiments than usual.

  He ran, but it was useless. No matter where he ran, his whereabouts would be detected by the central supercomputer, and he would soon be taken back by the so-called police who rescued lost children, and then he would be waiting for more cruel experiments. He also wanted to take out the chip from his body, but just thinking about it, he was controlled by the chip and suffered from nerve pain. He also thought about committing suicide, but unfortunately, once he raised the knife or wanted to jump from the building, the chip would make him weak all over. So, he could only live in pain day after day.

  In the end, he became numb and gave up. He just lived like a puppet day by day, and learned ancient martial arts swordsmanship to kill time. Until his father used him to conduct a wormhole effect experiment. A huge explosion occurred in the laboratory.

  "I actually survived that explosion?" Murong Weiyang struggled to get up from the ground, his whole body was in pain, but this was a piece of cake for him who always endured the pain brought by the experiment.

  Looking around, it was a small town with about a thousand people, but the buildings here seemed to be from the mid-20th century, which was far different from his city in the late 21st century, and strangely, there was no one here. "Strange." Murong Weiyang took a few steps forward, but he instantly felt the incoordination of his body. For him who started learning ancient martial arts swordsmanship at the age of ten, the feeling of his body was very familiar, but at this time his body gave him a very strange feeling. After taking

  a closer look at himself, Murong Weiyang was stunned. He turned into a seven-year-old child, and a little girl. But fortunately, the chip in his body was gone. What age? What gender? It doesn't matter in front of the freedom that has never been enjoyed! A surge of excitement and joy surged from the bottom of his heart, almost driving him crazy. If it weren't for his current, oh, it should be her, extremely weak body, she would definitely scream a few times to vent her excitement.

  Uh!

  Suddenly, a dizziness enveloped her. Could it be that she was too weak and her mood was too excited that caused her to faint? Murong Weiyang stood unsteadily and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and the red stone-like thing in her hand also fell to the ground.

  In her sleep, a little girl seemed to be saying something to her, but Murong Weiyang couldn't hear anything clearly. She could only watch in vain as the little girl's mouth opened and closed anxiously.

  "Are you awake?" Just as she opened her eyes again, an old man with a full beard suddenly appeared in front of her. "Wow!" Murong Weiyang was startled and subconsciously wanted to dodge back, but she lost her balance again due to her weakness and fell to the ground.

  "I'm sorry, I scared you." Hohenheim looked at the little girl in front of him with some depression.

  "Huh, it's all because you're too scary. You look very attractive with your blond hair, but why do you have so many beards?" Murong Weiyang rolled her eyes and said, it seems that the other party is not a bad person.

  "Well, I will consider it." Hohenheim nodded, "By the way, my name is Van Hohenheim. What about you?"

  "My name is..." Murong Weiyang's head suddenly hurt a lot. She hugged her head and fell to the ground in pain.

  "Hey, are you okay?" Hohenheim asked in a panic.

  "Huh, huh, I'm, I'm fine." The headache was finally over, and Murong Weiyang took a breath.

  "You scared me." Hohenheim also breathed a sigh of relief, "Eat something first." He put the food in the pot on the firewood into a small bowl and handed it to Murong Weiyang.

  "Thank you." Murong Weiyang smelled the fragrance and felt even hungrier. But she almost vomited after taking a bite. "What is this?"

  "Well, what's wrong?" Hohenheim looked at Murong Weiyang with some doubts. "Can you cook?" Murong Weiyang was very depressed. Fortunately, he didn't eat it rashly just now, otherwise he might not die of starvation, but of food poisoning.

  "Is it really that bad?" Hohenheim seemed to be very shocked.

  "You will know after you try it." Murong Weiyang directly returned the bowl to Hohenheim.

  "It's okay." Hohenheim tasted it and said. "When I travel, I often cook for myself." "Do you mean you have been eating these things all the time?" Murong Weiyang said in surprise. "Yes." Hohenheim seemed to have not talked to anyone for a long time. Suddenly, there was a person, although still a child, who could talk to him and was very interested.

  "Wow, I am very surprised that you can eat so much of this kind of thing and still survive!" Murong Weiyang said in surprise.

  Hohenheim was hit hard. "Okay." Murong Weiyang served herself a little. "Although it tastes terrible, at least it can fill my stomach." The main reason was that she was really hungry, otherwise she wouldn't eat these things. After all, she also learned some cooking skills at the end of the 21st century. It seems that she will have to do it herself in the future.

  After eating a little, Murong Weiyang finally recovered some strength, stood up, and then moved around and massaged herself. Suddenly, she felt as if she had lost something. "Strange, why do I feel like I have lost something?" She said unconsciously. "Did you see it?"

  "I don't know what you lost, how can I know if I can see it myself?" Hohenheim shrugged and answered.

  "Really?" Murong Weiyang didn't know at this time that the soul of the original owner of this body had begun to affect him. "Forget it, to be honest, I don't know what I lost myself." She frowned and said.

  "By the way, why are you here alone?" Hohenheim asked with some curiosity. He remembered that when he came here, he clearly heard that this was a very good oasis. "I don't know." Murong Weiyang thought about it, but her mind was blank, and finally she shook her head.

  "So, what's your name?" Hohenheim asked with some doubts, because when he first entered the oasis, he found a dead man outside. After burying the man, he walked in and found that the oasis was surrounded by a huge refining array. He observed it with great surprise and found that it was an array for refining the Philosopher's Stone. When he destroyed the array, he found Murong Weiyang and the Philosopher's Stone beside her. When Murong Weiyang asked him just now, Hohenheim knew that the child was asking about the Philosopher's Stone, but he didn't want the child to come into contact with such a bloody thing, so he hid it.

  "My name is... Yilan Si Hoinent." Murong Weiyang originally wanted to say his own name, but when the words came to his lips, he changed it to this name. She scratched her hair and thought for a while, and found that this name was most likely the name of the original owner of this body. But this little girl obviously didn't have any fatal injuries, so why was she possessed by me? Could it be that I took over someone else's body?

  "Hey, what's wrong with you?" Hohenheim saw that the little girl actually started to be dazed after saying her name, so he shouted.

  "Uh, what's wrong?" Murong Weiyang, no, should be called Yierlan Si#8226; Hoynent, came back to his senses and saw Hoynheim looking at him with some concern. His heart suddenly ached for no reason and his eyes became wet, but Murong Weiyang's male pride finally prevented him from shedding tears. Although the red eye circles explained everything. But Hoynheim didn't notice it because it was already dark. Even if he noticed it, he would probably just think that the child missed his parents.

  "You haven't answered my question yet." Hoynheim smiled and said, "Why are all the people here gone?" Although he knew that the people here were most likely refined into the Philosopher's Stone, he didn't quite believe that it was this little girl who did it, because even if she had this idea, she couldn't have that ability. So he wanted to ask this little girl what happened here, so as to infer whether his judgment was right.

  "I don't know. I don't know anything." Her head started to hurt again. Yi'erlan Si shook her head, bit her lips, and held her head with both hands. "I woke up here. I don't know anything!" Seeing the little girl's appearance, Hohenheim hurriedly helped her massage her head.

  "How is it? Is it better?" Hohenheim saw that the little girl's expression finally eased, and he was relieved. "Where are your parents? I'll take you to your parents."

  "I don't know." Although the two souls have begun to influence each other, they have not yet reached the point of mutual fusion. Murong Weiyang, who controls the main body, doesn't know this at all.

  "Really?" Hohenheim said a little depressed. It seems that he has found a burden, but he can't just leave it alone. "Why don't you follow me first, and when you remember, we will go find your parents."

  "Okay." Yi'erlan Si nodded.

  So, the two began a ten-year journey.


Chapter 54, Memories of Childhood (Part 2)

  "Well... well... well..." Yierlan Si kept saying well to a book.

  "What's wrong? Are you constipated?" Hohenheim said inappropriately. Yierlan Si jumped up instantly, so Hohenheim fell to the ground with a head full of lumps and couldn't get up again. "Did you say that to me?" Yierlan Si gritted his teeth and said, "I'm only ten years old!" "Oh, then

  I'm too talkative." Hohenheim smiled and got up from the ground. This guy seems to be very durable. "I'm going out for a while. You have to wait for me here before I come back. Got it?"

  "Going out again?" Yi'erlan Si asked puzzledly, "Why do you go out for a while every time you go to a place?" She was very curious, "Do you have to do something shameful every time you go to a place? And avoid me."

  "No, it's not like you think." Hohenheim waved his hands hurriedly. Since he adopted this little girl three years ago, he has been tortured by this not cute guy. "Now is not the time to tell you. I will tell you when you grow up."

  "Humph, you say this again." Yi'erlan Si pouted dissatisfiedly, "Okay, you have to go and come back quickly."

  "Okay." Hohenheim nodded and left.

  After seeing Hohenheim leave, Yi'erlan Si immediately jumped up from the stool. Since she saw Hohenheim's alchemy, she began to pester him crazily to learn. Finally, Hohenheim had no choice but to teach this guy alchemy, but he didn't expect that this guy was actually a genius. He learned so much information and theoretical knowledge very quickly, which was amazing.

  In fact, Yierlansi herself didn't know, but when she saw those things, it seemed that something in her brain emerged, and she learned it immediately. Even she herself found it incredible. Could it be that this was the same as those time-travel novels she had read a long time ago, the so-called protagonist effect? ​​With a high learning speed and understanding speed, Yierlansi began to conduct alchemy experiments on her own, and sometimes she studied some techniques that even Hohenheim was surprised. Of course, it was just surprise, after all, her level was still very young in Hohenheim's eyes.

  "Okay, that bearded man is gone, and I have three more days." Yierlansi smiled proudly, and she took out her own information from her small bag. Of course, it was written in Chinese, and there was a lot of information about human body alchemy and biological alchemy. Although the body of this little girl has become very good under the unconscious and inexplicable exercise every morning, it is not a male body after all. Some people say that when a person's wish is fulfilled, he will think of the second wish. People are an insatiable creature.

  The same is true for the former Murong Weiyang and the incomplete Yierlan Si. She hopes to restore her male body, even if it is a pseudo-girl. So during the period when Hohenheim was away, she would conduct research on human body refining and biological refining. She once asked Hohenheim, but was severely rejected and told herself that human body refining was prohibited.

  But all this still couldn't stop Yierlan Si. Finally, Yierlan Si's refining array was completed, and the materials were ready. It's just a matter of refining. If the master comes back and finds that I have become a boy, he will be very surprised! Hehe! Yierlan Si smiled secretly.

  Then, let's get started quickly! Yierlan Si took out her materials and placed them in a hidden place at the back of the room. Then she carefully drew a very complicated alchemy array on the ground with chalk, and then carefully weighed out the materials needed bit by bit with a scale.

  "Huh, finally ready." Yierlan Si stood inside the array, and then pressed her hands on both sides of the alchemy array and activated the alchemy array. She was very nervous and scared, but the alchemy array was activated before she gave up due to fear and nervousness. The shining light shot up into the sky, and the white light scattered and shone, illuminating all the dark corners in the open space behind the room. The light of alchemy even overshadowed the morning sun in the sky. Success

  !

  Yierlan Si thought to herself. But in an instant, the alchemy array showed other reactions. The surroundings of the array were shrouded in unprecedented black, and the light could not penetrate. Red, green, yellow, purple, and various colors appeared alternately.

  What's going on?

  Yierlan Si looked at all this in shock and wanted to rush out, but it was too late after she activated the refining array. "Damn it! Did the refining fail?" She screamed, but she couldn't scream anymore because her body began to decompose from the feet.

  No way? Am I going to die?

  Bang!

  The sound of the door opening.

  "Welcome to the Gate of Truth!" At this time, a very sudden voice brought Murong Weiyang's unfocused pupils back to focus. "I, have I changed back?" He looked at his body in surprise, exactly the same as before he came to this world.

  "As long as you pay enough." The shadow in front of him said, "But you didn't." He waved his hand, and the huge door of truth behind Murong Weiyang opened again with a clang. Countless black hands that looked like two-dimensional images stretched out from it and pulled Murong Weiyang in.

  "Wow, ah ah ah ah——!"

  Murong Weiyang screamed astonishingly. A lot of scary knowledge, scenes, thoughts, and emotions poured into her head. The pain that seemed to be about to explode was something she had never felt before. At the same time, her body was gradually decomposed. I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Murong Weiyang screamed madly: "I don't want to die!"

  He stretched out his hand, trying to grab something in vain, but there was nothing. Consciousness was gradually disappearing... Am I going to die? Forget it, it was enough for me to live freely for three years.

  I just felt a little sorry for the original owner of this body. It would be great if I could do something for her. Unfortunately, everything was over...

  Suddenly, a small hand grabbed Murong Weiyang's bewildered hand. In the blurred vision, there was that very familiar face and body, the body that I had used for three years.

  Come and help me...

  It was very low and intermittent, but Murong Weiyang finally heard some of it.

  Come and help me...

  and help yourself...

  ...

  After Hohenheim left the room, he prepared to rush to the carriage station on foot. After all, not all places are accessible by train. Moreover, the place he was going to was not very far away. It only took half a day to get there by carriage. It was just that it would take a lot of time to take measures there. But when he was about to reach the carriage station, he suddenly stopped unconsciously.

  Well, what happened? I always felt like something bad was going to happen. Hohenheim touched his beard and thought uneasily. He looked back at the room on the mountain, but found that there seemed to be a flash of light there.

  His heart suddenly skipped a beat. Damn!

  Hohenheim hurriedly ran up the mountain, but his running speed was really terrible. "Although this will destroy the environment here, there is no other way." He exerted force on his feet, and a square stone pillar directly lifted him up and ran up the mountain.

  "Wow!" But it seemed that the landing was not well controlled. Hohenheim fell and rolled, and finally stopped, "Well, it's better not to do such dangerous things next time..." But his landing point seemed to be well found, just behind the room. It was

  pitch black, and there was nothing except darkness. "Is the door open?" Hohenheim said in surprise, and then he looked at the Philosopher's Stone that he had hidden in his pocket for a long time, because the soul inside was agitated.

  "No, we have to help quickly!" Hohenheim got up from the ground and rushed in.

  ...

  It's all my fault... If it weren't for me, everyone wouldn't have died... But because of me, everyone's souls, including their bodies, were all gone... I think I should atone for these sins...

  Murong Weiyang and the little girl touched their foreheads, their consciousnesses were communicating with each other, and their souls stopped disappearing at this moment.

  This shouldn't be your fault... The one who was wrong should be the guy who ignored the lives of others...

  But I couldn't stop him...

  You are only seven years old...

  Is that right?

  A lot of souls poured into this dark world, and those souls were all the souls of the residents of Hefante. Although they wandered around the two people, they did not hate the little girl at all. Because for all those who have experienced this incident, the living are more painful than the dead.

  I will pay the price for you... You live for me...

  Why do you give up? No one blames you...

  This is the punishment I must bear... And your punishment is to become me and live...

  Become you... Live? Why?

  Didn't we agree on this? ... Three years ago... When you first came to this world...

  Murong Weiyang suddenly remembered the coma after he just woke up. It seemed that someone said something to him, but at that time, he didn't hear anything at all...

  "Hey!"

  The sky suddenly brightened, and everything around was white, with only the black door behind him and the black man in front of him. The sudden change made Murong Weiyang a little uncomfortable.

  "Oh, you can actually walk out of it!" The black shadow seemed a little surprised, "But that's right, the little girl paid the price for you, of course you will be fine."

  "What did she pay?" Murong Weiyang said this, a little surprised, because this voice was the voice of the body he had used for three years.

  "Her own unique soul..." The black shadow's answer was surprising.

  "What did you say!?" Murong Weiyang could never imagine that his behavior would cause the other party to lose his soul. "Don't be so surprised. Didn't you also lose the uniqueness of your soul?" The black shadow said with a smile, "I'm beginning to be interested in you. Originally, the price she paid was not enough for you to obtain so many truths, but..."

  "Wow!" The memories of the two souls were mixed together. The pain from the soul almost made him collapse, but he knew in his heart that if he lost consciousness after death, then everything would be over.

  "I finally got freedom! How can I lose it like this!?"

 

Chapter 55, Relics of the East

  Silence, Yierlan Si looked at the sky, and after recalling the stupid things she did at that time, she really felt that she should not live in this world. But, didn't the little girl say that? Living is sometimes a punishment.

  Edward and Armstrong looked at the silent Yierlansi and didn't say anything because they didn't know what to say. Moreover, at this moment, no matter what they said, it seemed that there was no way to heal the wound in Yierlansi's heart. The two looked at each other, nodded to Yierlansi, and then walked out.

  Father...

  Yierlansi grabbed Berman's hand.

  You must wake up...

  Green grass, blue sky, white clouds floating above, passionate flowers around exuding fragrance, a cute little girl, and a cheerful little boy are playing with a very beautiful and gentle woman.

  The scene is so warm.

  Berman woke up in the beautiful memories, opened his eyes, and found that his daughter was lying beside him, and seemed to have fallen asleep. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Yierlansi's hair. The

  gentle and gentle touch made Yierlansi wake up. "Dad, don't move, you..." She hurriedly got up and grabbed Berman's hand. "Don't worry, as a martial artist, I'm not that fragile." Bellman smiled and sat up. "I'm just a little weak because of excessive blood loss. Aren't all the wounds healed?"

  "You..." Yierlansi was very surprised. How did his father know? He should have been in a coma all along.

  "Your mother told me everything." Berman said gently. "I'm sorry, Dad..." Yierlansi saw that his father did not blame him at all, and his heart ached, and his eyes became wet. "I..."

  "Don't cry, I'm fine, right?" Berman hugged Yi'erlansi in his arms, "You let me and France reunite, I'm very happy..."

  "Dad..." Yi'erlansi could no longer control her emotions, and sobbed in Berman's arms.

  After a long time, Yierlansi's emotions stabilized. "You have been wronged over the years." Berman said to Yierlansi with guilt. "No, I'm fine." Yilan Si got up from Berman's arms. Her father had just woken up and was still very weak. "There was a bearded uncle named Van Hohenheim who adopted me and taught me alchemy..."

  "Really?" Berman smiled. "If I see him, I must thank him."

  "Excuse me." At this time, Armstrong's voice came from outside, and then the curtain was lifted. The big guy walked in with a bent waist. "Mr. Hoynent, it's great that you finally woke up." He was very happy to see Berman wake up. "Thank

  you, Mr. Armstrong. If it weren't for you, Ilan and I would probably die." Berman understood everything very clearly through his wife's soul.

  "No, it's nothing." Armstrong waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. "By the way, although I'm sorry, we have to go to the ruins in the east." He cast his eyes on Yilan Si.

  Yierlan Si lowered her head. She didn't know what to do. Although Zhenli also asked her to go there, she didn't say when to go. She had just met her father after being separated for ten years, not to mention that his body had not recovered yet.

  "Go ahead." Berman saw his daughter's hesitation, but he could also see that these people must have something very important to do when they went to the ruins in the east.

  "But..." Yierlan Si wanted to argue. "It's okay, I'm not that fragile," Berman said with a smile, "I've been fighting for a day and a night with a seriously injured body." He pointed to Sred who had just opened the curtain and walked in, "And isn't there Sred here?"

  "That's right! Master Berman only needs me." Sred said to Yierlan Si with his head held high. Fortunately, the tent was high enough, otherwise this guy would definitely hit the tent.

  "Go ahead." Berman said to Yierlan Si gently.

  "...I'll be back soon." Yierlansi nodded at last, "You must wait for me here." "Don't worry." Berman replied, "I finally got to meet my daughter, how could we part so soon?"

  Yierlansi's eyes were wet, and finally she made up her mind and walked out of the tent.

  After breakfast and everything was ready, the four of them rode on their horses again and headed east. The sun was still scorching, but Yierlansi's heart felt very warm. Because she found her father, she was no longer lonely, and she had a father who loved her.

  "Woo woo woo woo... It's so hot!" Edward complained again. There was no way. Her right arm and left leg were all made of metal, and the continued heat inside was too unbearable. "When can we get there?" he asked impatiently.

  "Soon, we have entered the eastern country." Mr. Han said, "Look." He pointed to the front and said. Edward looked forward with a monocular telescope and really saw traces of the ruins.

  "That was the center of the ruins of Xerxes." Mr. Han said, "It used to be a very prosperous country, but now it is just a transit station for caravans traveling between the East and the West."

  "Any prosperity is fleeting, nothing can last forever." Yilan Si interrupted, "So immortality is just a joke." She thought of the pigtail man's female guard who said something like "drop the clues to immortality that we finally found" after fighting side by side with him in the center, so she said casually.

  "You are finally here." If people start chatting and are in high spirits, time will pass quickly. Just when these four people, oh, no, it should be three people, Edward was so hot that he couldn't speak. Just when these three people were chatting happily, an old voice came over. "I have been waiting for you for a long time." "

  Hello, Mr. Hu." Mr. Han and the white-bearded old man in a turban in front of him seemed to be old acquaintances. The old man with a white beard, called Mr. Hu, nodded, and then looked at Yilansi and Edward. "Why is this kid here too? And who is she?" He pointed at Yilansi.

  "I guess I want to ask why! Why are you, an old man, here? Why was I brought to this border area? I have a lot of questions to ask you! But give me some water first!" Edward was about to get a heat stroke halfway through the journey.

  "Oh, I don't know why, but I'm sorry." Faced with this hot-tempered boy, Mr. Hu had to apologize first, and then handed the water bottle to Edward.

  "This is Miss Yilansi Hoynent, a friend of Edward." Brida introduced.

  "Hello." Yilansi said politely, and she was still very polite to the elderly. "Hey, Edward, are you okay?" Armstrong said worriedly while holding Edward. Although Edward drank water, the residual heat in the metal was not so easy to dissipate.

  "It's... so hot..." Edward said in a hoarse voice that was about to die.

  Yierlan Si silently snatched Yierlan Si from Armstrong's hand, and then threw him directly into the puddle for livestock to drink water. Plop! "There's no problem with this." Yierlan Si clapped his hands and said. Everyone looked at Yierlan Si with fear. Although Yierlan Si covered the Ouroboros on her forehead with a headscarf, many of the alchemy arrays on her body were still exposed, making it easy for people to think of her as a bad girl. "What's wrong?" It was obvious that Yierlan Si didn't realize this.

  "Well, I've only heard of Xeruxes in the story of 'The Sage of the East.'" Armstrong was the first to break the strange silence. He looked around and said. "The Sage of the East?" Mr. Hu seemed to have never heard of it, which was no wonder, he was a Xin countryman.

  "Well, it's about the story of how alchemy was brought to our country." Edward was resurrected. "It is said that a survivor of the Kingdom of Xerxes who disappeared overnight came to Amestorius, which had just been established, and spread alchemy. That's the story." Several people began to follow Mr. Hu into the depths of the ruins. "

  Really?" Mr. Hu was a little surprised. "It seems that there are such legends everywhere. Our country also has the story of the 'Western Sage'. There is a legend in our Xin country that a sage from the West taught us alchemy, so our alchemy technology has been significantly improved."

  "Alchemy in your country is mostly used for medical purposes, right?" Edward confirmed with Mr. Hu.

  "Yes, that's right." Mr. Hu nodded, "But those in ancient times can't be considered alchemy at all. They are just the products of some people's delusion of immortality. There are even royal families who believe that mercury can make people immortal, and three generations of their family died of mercury poisoning." He continued, "Until that great man from the West introduced alchemy, and then our Xin country integrated alchemy with our ancient technology, and it became alchemy. So, we respectfully call him the 'Western Sage'!"

  "Where are we going?" Yierlan Si didn't have the leisure to listen to this, she had to go back and take care of her father.

  "We'll be there in a while." Mr. Hu said.

  "Wow, what a magnificent temple." Armstrong exclaimed when he saw the ruins here. "Could this country with such advanced alchemy really be destroyed overnight?" "It's just a legend." Brida also admired the magnificence of the ruins, but she didn't believe those legends.

  "Having advanced knowledge does not necessarily mean that one will not perish," Yierlan Si obviously disagreed with Armstrong's words, "It is common sense that prosperity will decline."

  This time Edward ignored these people because he saw something that fascinated him. A very huge stone wall with a very grand pattern that looked like an alchemy array on it. "Too similar!" Yierlan Si also saw this thing, but her face was not very good, because this thing was too similar to the alchemy array of the Philosopher's Stone. She, who had experienced it, would of course feel terrified. The feeling of surviving the disaster after escaping from the misfortune of being refined into the Philosopher's Stone was unimaginable to others.

  

Chapter 56, The Resurrection of the Beauty

  "Hey, what are you doing? Over here!" Mr. Hu, who had been walking in front, suddenly saw that the guys behind him actually walked to the other side and shouted hurriedly.

  "Oh, OK." Edward and the others hurriedly followed.

  "We're walking close to the city." Armstrong looked around and said.

  "It's too dangerous to let a woman stay in a place where people can see her." Mr. Hu replied. "Woman?" Edward was a little surprised.

  The East where I used to stay was not bad. It's not as noisy as the big city, and there are many beautiful women!

  Edward and Armstrong remembered what Mustang said. "Edward!" At this time, a voice came over. Edward, who was following Mr. Hu, looked up and saw a person on the high ground looking at him with a smile.

  "Colonel, that bastard!" Edward greeted Mustang with a joyful tone.

  "Lieutenant Ross, I'm worried about you!" Armstrong, a very easily moved guy, burst into tears, took off his shirt and rushed over. "I'm so glad you're safe!" Maria Ross hurriedly dodged Armstrong's "attack" and confronted him.

  "It's too dangerous to let a dead person stay in the country." Brida said with a smile. "She wasn't the one who killed Lieutenant Colonel Biss, was she?" Edward was also very happy to see Lieutenant Ross. "Then you should ask her," Brida replied. "So the colonel suspected this from the beginning?" "People who don't suspect it must be sick," Brida answered directly.

  "You! You! Be careful or I'll sue you for sexual harassment!" Lieutenant Ross was already a little out of breath from trying to dodge Armstrong. "I was really worried about you... Wow!" Armstrong was kicked away by someone.

  Lieutenant Ross was shocked. You know, it's not that easy to kick a big guy like Armstrong away, so he looked closely at the person in front of him. "What's wrong? You haven't seen me for a while, don't you recognize me, Sister Ross?" Yierlan Si said to Ross with a smile.

  "Are you... Yilan?" Because Yierlan Si was covered in the alchemy array, she wore long clothes, which was very different from her usual refreshing look, so Ross didn't recognize her.

  "What? Do you mean you don't recognize me anymore?" Yierlan Si pretended to be pitiful.

  "No...it's just..." Ross saw Yierlan Si's pitiful look, and her maternal instinct was aroused. She was so flustered that she didn't know what to say.

  "If you want to apologize, throw me into your arms!" Yierlan Si finally revealed her sinister intention. "Well?" Lieutenant Ross was stunned. But during this moment of daze, Yierlan Si had already rushed into her arms, her face kept arching her breasts, her hands were even inside her clothes, and she was still mumbling, "So soft, so fragrant."

  Veins popped out from Lieutenant Ross's forehead. This guy is simply a female pervert! "Wow!" She screamed. It turned out that Yierlan Si had already touched her breasts with one hand, and pulled down her round-neck vest with the other hand, and kissed it with her mouth.

  "Stop it!" Lieutenant Ross directly knocked Yierlan Si, who continued to harass her, to the ground with a knife.

  "Woo woo..." Yilansi showed a puppy-like expression and looked at Lieutenant Ross pitifully. But Lieutenant Ross was no longer interested. "Okay, get up. I didn't use any force!" She said angrily.

  "Hehe!" Yilansi jumped up from the ground with a smile, then grabbed Ross's left arm and hugged her, "I knew Sister Ross was the best." As she said that, she leaned her head on Lieutenant Ross. Lieutenant Ross really had no way to deal with this guy. In fact, Yilansi was just making such a fuss because she had seen her father, whom she hadn't seen for ten years, and had untied a big knot in her heart.

  Everyone gathered together, and Lieutenant Ross and Lieutenant Brida explained why Lieutenant Ross didn't die, and everyone understood what was going on. "That bastard colonel is really a ghost." Yilansi said so. "That guy is always like this." Edward also felt the same way.

  "Okay, let's check the intelligence first." Brida took out a thick notebook. "This is the information obtained from the colonel. Let's check it without reservation."

  Several people began to exchange information with each other, and then Armstrong used a pencil to draw the appearance of the people mentioned by several people. "Edward was brought out by this Enbi." Ross pointed to one of the people in the notebook and said. "This sexy beauty is 'Last'." Lieutenant Brida pointed to another and said.

  "Do artificial people really exist?" Mr. Hu was very confused about this, because he came here a long time ago and did not fight with those artificial people, so he had this question. "We will have a ready-made one here soon..." "Edward!" Armstrong glared at Edward. This guy really said whatever he got.

  "Uh, sorry." Edward did not dare to look at Yierlan Si, so he had to bow his head and apologize. Yierlan Si did not say it herself, and even covered the mark, which meant that she did not want others to know, but she did.

  "It's nothing, sooner or later you will know it anyway." Yierlan Si sighed and took off the headscarf tied on her forehead. "Actually, I'm a cyborg." Although she felt a little bitter, it was the truth, wasn't it?

  "Yilan, you..." Lieutenant Ross looked at Yilansi in surprise. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it." Yilansi looked at Ross's expression and knew that after knowing that she was a cyborg, the girl in front of her would definitely not look at her the same way as before. After all, humans are a very exclusive race.

  "Wow, what are you doing?" Lieutenant Ross grabbed Yilansi and began to examine her body, touching her everywhere, all over her body, even the most private parts were examined, and the group of men next to her blushed. "Isn't it the same?" Lieutenant Ross concluded. Suddenly, she felt that the surroundings were too quiet, so she looked to the side and found that the men were staring at Yilansi, who was limp in her arms. "Hey, what are you looking at!?"

  "Cough! Cough cough!" The men who were caught hurriedly coughed to cover up their embarrassment.

  "Speaking of which, it's also suspicious that Gulide and others in Tapris were all killed." Brida hurriedly changed the subject. "Yes, that's right." Edward quickly replied, leaving Armstrong, who was a step behind, anxious.

  Looking at the faces of the people in front of her, Yilansi burst out laughing. "Thank you." She was really happy, because these people were telling her that they didn't mind being artificial. This identity. Otherwise, why would Armstrong, who grew up in a wealthy family, make such an expression? How could an old man like Mr. Hu be interested in a little girl like him? And Edward probably doesn’t know the benefits of women at all.

  “Well... but think about it carefully.” After spending a long time together, Ross was puzzled at this time. “I have no connection with the Philosopher’s Stone at all, so why am I involved?”

  “Did you really not kill Brigadier General Biss?” Brida’s little eyes turned and looked at Ross.

  “Nonsense!” Ross was very angry at Brida’s suspicion.

  “Is that so?” Brida ignored Ross’s anger and breathed a sigh of relief. “Then I don’t need this thing at all.” He pulled out a gun from his arms and saw Ross’s puzzled look, so he explained, “The colonel said that if you are really the murderer of Brigadier General Biss, then he will shoot you immediately after getting the information.”

  Lieutenant Ross closed his mouth in fear, while Edward looked at Brida with a guilty look. “Brigadier General Biss… is he really dead?” He still couldn’t believe it. Seeing Edward’s guilty look, Yilansi couldn’t bear it any more.

  “I don’t know what to say to Mrs. Biss,” Edward said, lowering his head.

  “Have you been there?” Brida asked. “Yes, I told her everything and apologized to her,” Edward replied. “You idiot!” Lieutenant Brida punched Edward on the head, grabbed Edward’s pigtail, and said viciously, “You idiot! Do you know how dangerous it is to tell the victim’s family the truth?” Without waiting for Edward to say anything, the guy threw Edward aside, hugged his head and screamed, “Oh my God, I hate simple-minded kids!”

  “So, what did she tell you?” Brida suddenly turned around and asked. The change in her state was so fast that it was hard to keep up.

  "She told me to 'continue to infiltrate using a method that you can agree with.'" Edward said guiltily, but he immediately strengthened his belief. "There are people who are willing to help those who have violated the taboo, and there are also people who silently support us. Moreover, there is a brother who has agreed to recover together. Besides, we already know the whole story, and we can't turn back."

  He grabbed his right hand with his left hand. "In this case, then we have no choice but to move forward. I will move forward in a way that does not sacrifice anyone! If someone dies in front of me, then I will definitely protect him! Although it is difficult to protect only myself with these hands, and it may be a very arrogant idea, but now I have only this way!" After he finished speaking, he sighed self-deprecatingly, "I am really a fool!"

  "You are indeed an arrogant fool!" Brida said. "Lieutenant Brida!" Ross shouted in a somewhat blaming way. "But I don't hate this kind of fool. Keep doing well." Brida finished the rest of the words.

  Everyone smiled warmly. Although there are many scumbags in this world, there are also many good people. Yilan Si thought as she smiled. It's great to be alive. Although the road ahead is bumpy, with so many people full of faith, enthusiasm and kindness, what difficulties can't be overcome?


Chapter 57, Lake of Memory

  "Let's go too." After seeing off Lieutenant Ross, Armstrong said to everyone. "Well, we have to cross the desert again. It's so tiring!" Brida complained. "Wait a minute!" Edward suddenly remembered the huge mural that looked like a formation he saw on the way here. He said to a few people and ran over immediately.

  Yilan Si hesitated for a moment and walked over too. When he arrived there, Edward was concentrating on looking at the mural. "Did you see anything?" she asked. "Well, this is very similar to the alchemy array I saw in the Fifth Research Institute." Edward held his chin and answered, "But there is a place missing on it. It's really... it would be great if it hadn't disappeared."

  "Okay, write these down, and then let's go quickly." Yierlansi sighed and didn't say anything else. "Your brother and Wen Li are still waiting for you in the center, right?"

  "Okay." Edward nodded very depressed. At this moment, there was a sound of a blunt weapon swinging behind him. "Huh!" Yierlansi stretched out his hand directly, and his sharp nails directly cut off the opponent's weapon, and then turned around and kicked the attacker away.

  "What!?" The other party was obviously very surprised.

  Edward obviously also felt that someone was going to attack him and Yierlansi, but since Yierlansi took action, he didn't take action. "Are you from Ishuville?" Edward looked at the brown-skinned man with a little surprise.

  "Okay, don't hide around, come out." Yierlansi said to the sneaky guys around a little helplessly.

  "Sorry, can you let us capture you?" Seeing that there was no way to sneak attack, several very strong Ishwell men slowly surrounded them. "It's not impossible to capture us." Yilan Si looked at these guys and curled her lips. "If you are all monks, the possibility of success is still very high."

  "I don't have parents to redeem me with money." Edward was also helpless about this.

  "We don't want money." At this time, a guy with a scar on his face came out, "Young man, in order to demand the liberation of our Ishwell blockade area and the withdrawal of those ** troops, are you willing to be our hostage?"

  "If you want us to be hostages, just come and capture us." Yilan Si didn't have any good feelings for these guys. If these guys really didn't know how to appreciate it, it would be okay to kill them. "But you should be prepared to be killed."

  "If you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being rude." The guy said coldly.

  "It's so embarrassing!" At this time, an old voice came over, and then an old lady came over with a child. "Lord Shane." This man seemed to be of a very high status, and the ferocious men just now immediately retreated. "A bunch of idiots, do you want to tarnish the reputation of Ishuville?"

  "Sorry, they are really rude." The old lady called Shane apologized to Edward and Yilansi.

  "It's okay, I know you hate us very much." Edward understood what these guys did. "Yes, we can't forgive you for destroying our homes and slaughtering us." Shane looked at Edward and answered.

  "Then why did you save me, a Amestris person you hate so much?" Edward asked back.

  "Because I know not all of you are bad people." Shane replied, "During the war, we were saved by a doctor couple from Amestris. If it weren't for them, we would have died long ago."

  "So we can't hate all Amestris." The child also said.

  "Doctor, I also know a doctor and his wife who went to Ishwell to save people during the civil war." Edward seemed to be quite nostalgic. "Could it be Winry's parents?" Yilansi interrupted.

  "Well, Aunt Rockbell and Uncle died in the Ishwell Civil War." Edward said with some sadness.

  "The Rockbells?" The child seemed very surprised. "That couple also saved us!" "Really?" Edward was also surprised. The world is really small.

  "Yes, they are very good to us." Shane also said.

  "So, how did they die?" Edward couldn't help asking.

  "They were killed by the patients they saved." Shane's expression was very painful. She felt very sad about this matter. "We can't stop that person." "

  How could it be!?" Edward was stunned and sad, and then asked angrily, "Who is that person!?"

  "He has a bandage on his face, and it is impossible to tell what he looks like. He is an Ishwell monk with a tattoo on his right arm." Shane replied, "It is very similar to the tattoo on this little girl."

  "Tsk!" Yierlan Si spat coldly, "If your lives were saved by Wen Li's parents, I would definitely kill you!" Hearing that Wen Li's parents were killed by the patients she saved, she was very angry.

  "Don't even think about hurting Lord Shane!" The Ishwell people immediately protected Shane, and the atmosphere became tense. "Hurt?" Yilansi looked at the men, "If I want to kill you, it won't help even if you have twice as many people."

  "Okay, let's go." Edward said at this time.

  "Humph!" Yilansi was just talking, after all, it was not them who killed the Rockbells.

  "If you see the daughter of the Rockbells, say sorry for us." Shane walked out of the protection of those people and said with a sad expression.

  "Ah, I know." Edward nodded. Yilansi didn't say a word.

  Talking in the desert is still a waste of water in the body. When we came here, if we were not about to reach the ruins, everyone would not chat. And this time when we came back, everyone was very tactful and didn't talk on the way to retain the water in the body.

  After walking for more than half a day, we finally arrived at the Hefante Oasis. Yilansi saw the oasis and immediately rushed in. It was almost night at this time. Yilansi rushed in and came to her original home, where her father's tent was.

  "Dad, Dad..." However, there was nothing there.

  Yilansi stared blankly at everything here. She came back with hope, hoping to be with her father. Happiness is beautiful, but it is too easy to break. "What's wrong, Miss Hoynent?" Armstrong saw Yilansi standing there alone and asked. The others also came over. "Where's your father?" Brida asked.

  Why? Didn't he say he would wait for me? Yilansi clenched her fists tightly, her whole body was trembling, and her heart was bleeding. Was it just talk? It was just... just... Her heart was hurting, and the feeling of being abandoned made her heartbroken. Why! ?

  "Mr. Hoynent!" Armstrong and the others looked at each other and immediately scattered to look for him, but it was obvious that Berman and Sled had already left.

  "Are you okay?" Edward asked a little worriedly.

  "I'm fine." Yilansi's voice was clear and cold. If the heart is dead, everything will be nothing. "How could I be in trouble? It's just a return to the past. I'm used to it anyway." "Hey..." Edward didn't know what to say.

  "I'm fine." Yierlansi turned around and said to Edward, "Let's rest here for a night and go to Lisabul."

  "Uh, oh, okay." Edward nodded subconsciously. He was stunned because he had never seen Yierlansi's expression like that. There was no joy, no sadness, as if nothing could touch her.

  "Mr. Hoynent's departure was a huge blow to her." Armstrong said to Edward while Yierlansi was tidying up the tent.

  "Yes." Edward nodded.

  Because of this incident, the atmosphere seemed very dull throughout the night. Early the next morning, when the five people left the border of Hefant, Yierlansi got off the horse. "What's wrong?" Armstrong asked.

  Yierlan Si did not speak. The alchemy array on her body had not yet subsided. She stood directly on the edge of the Hefante oasis. With a little effort, a circle of very high and thick stone walls rose up. Edward and Armstrong looked at this scene in surprise. You know, although Edward could not use the alchemy array, he still had to put his hands together and clap. Yierlan Si usually had to do the same action, but at this time, she did not move at all.

  "If this is the case, the caravans will have no place to replenish water before reaching the ruins of Xeruxes." Mr. Han could not help but say.

  Yierlan Si did not speak, but just looked at the wall silently, and then took a deep breath. This time, the alchemy array on her body began to glow, and the stone wall began to descend to the ground. Yes, it descended, descending to the depths of the desert, not disappearing. The trees in the oasis began to grow wildly, all of them grew into towering trees, and even behind Edward and the others, there were many places where trees grew.

  "Amazing..." Edward exclaimed unconsciously.

  "Well, such a large-scale refining is not something that ordinary people can do." Armstrong also said, "Even if you can do it, you will exhaust your physical strength."

  Pah!

  Yilan Si slapped the remaining part of the wall that did not sink to the ground with his right palm, and the wall immediately sprayed out a lot of water like a wave. Soon, the water flow filled the whole thing. The original Hefante became a lake, a lake in the desert. And with the formation of the lake, a lot of refining arrays appeared on the only stone wall.

  "Well, can this refining array pump groundwater from the ground?" Armstrong said after looking at it.

  "It also has the function of preventing water from escaping." Yilan Si turned around and climbed on the horse. There was no sign of physical exhaustion, as if someone else was doing all this. "It's impossible to do it without someone starting it, right?" Edward said with some doubts.

  "I refined a trace of my own soul in it." Yilan Si replied, and then ignored a few people and started to hurry on the road. This is the seal that seals my extra emotions.

  Edward's eyesight was very good. When he walked over, he saw four small words on the stone wall, "The Lake of Memory".

  Cut off everything in the past?

Chapter 58, Melancholy Heartache After

  doing all this, Yierlan Si was very calm. At this time, she did not have the kind of anger that was infuriating in her heart, but only a faint sadness. Since you can't have it, then don't force it! She said to herself.

  "We are going directly back to the center." Armstrong said to Edward and Yierlan Si in the carriage.

  "I'll go to grandma's place to fix this and go back to the center directly." Edward pointed to the mechanical armor that was broken by Armstrong's punch and said. "Oh, I forgot." Armstrong nodded. "Aren't you going back to the center first?" He turned his head and asked Yierlan Si.

  "No." Yierlan Si shook her head, "I may live here for a while."

  "Then goodbye." Lieutenant Brida and the big guy waved to Edward and Irlansi.

  After seeing the two people leave in the carriage, Irlansi and Edward walked towards Rockbell's house. "I want to go to the grave of my uncle and aunt first. Are you going?" Edward asked Irlansi. "Winry's parents?" Irlansi asked. "

  Yes." Edward nodded.

  "Okay." Irlansi agreed. So the two walked towards the cemetery. But when they arrived at the cemetery, they saw an unexpected guy. "Who is that person? Why is he in front of my mother's grave?" Edward said to himself, and suddenly he understood, and immediately ran over with gritted teeth.

  "Well, what's wrong?" Irlansi came back from Hefante and had been a little depressed. When she saw Edward running, she looked forward carefully and found a very familiar person. "Master?" So she followed him.

  But when Yilansi arrived there, Edward walked in front with a righteous anger, while Hohenheim walked behind helplessly. "Oh, it's Yilan." The blond bearded man saw Yilansi. "I didn't expect to see you here." Yilansi shrugged, "To be honest, since I left you, I always thought I would never find you again." "Sorry."

  Hohenheim didn't know what to say.

  "You should apologize to him and Al, right?" Yilansi pointed at Edward who was angry in front and said. Hohenheim didn't say anything. Yilansi saw that the master didn't say anything, and didn't say anything else. After all, this was their family's business after all, and an outsider couldn't intervene. Back at Granny Pinako's house, Edward didn't eat, ran into the room, covered his head with the quilt, and went to sleep angrily.

  "Why didn't you scold him about the human body refining thing?" Granny Pinako sat at the table and asked Hohenheim.

  "I don't know how to scold him." Hohenheim drank a glass of wine.

  "If you were here, the mother of the two children wouldn't have died." Pinnako blamed, "You saw your mother die..." "She was transformed into a mother?" Hohenheim looked at Edward's room, "Pinako, is the one transformed into the two children really their mother?"

  "It's not in human form, how can you tell?" Pinnako replied.

  "I'm talking about the color of the hair and eyes," Hohenheim said. "Are you saying that the two children lost their bodies because of something that has nothing to do with them? How can you say such an excessive thing!" Pinnako was very surprised.

  "Dead lives cannot be resurrected." At this time, Yilan Si, who had been staring blankly out the window in a corner, suddenly spoke, "I didn't ask Edward because I didn't want to let the two children suffer a greater blow. Master, you are so irresponsible to say these words."

  "Oh, sorry." Although he said sorry, there was no apology in it. "But speaking of it, how did you become like this again?"

  "This has nothing to do with you." Yierlansi stood up and looked at her master. "I just realized that the master is not a competent father." She pushed open the door and said, "I hate this kind of person the most." After that, she left the room.

  "Huh, I am hated." Hohenheim said helplessly.

  "That child is also a thoughtful person." Pinako saw Yierlansi walk out of the room and run to the tree, so he said to Hohenheim. "Well, but she has caused me a lot of trouble." Hohenheim took a sip of wine. "Although this child is kind, her behavior is too extreme."

  "You have taken care of that child for ten years, you should be considered the father of that child. How could you let her be like that?" Although Pinako is old, his alcohol tolerance is still as good as before.

  "Maybe I was born not to be a good father." Hohenheim said with a wry smile.

  Yierlan Si sat on the treetop, looking quietly towards the east. No matter how she tried to comfort herself, she could not stop the loss in her heart. She was very confused as to why her father suddenly left there without even leaving a message for her. Although she wanted to blame her father for leaving without saying goodbye, her father risked being killed by her to stop her from running away. The blood all over his body made her unable to hate him no matter what.

  When did I hope so?

  A little hope in my heart

  I don’t know if this is a luxury

  I just want the simplest love

  But I get the most painful injury

  Hope brings me only injury

  However, I still can’t help thinking about it

  Even if it will make me covered with injuries

  Yillan Si casually carved a few lines of Chinese characters on the tree trunk with her fingernails and sighed deeply. Perhaps, she shouldn’t have any extravagant expectations for that love. Thinking of this, Yierlan Si was too lazy to think about it anymore. It was just a fuss. Anyway, before she crossed over, wasn’t her father still alive? How much worse can the current situation be than that time?

  Or has more than ten years of living in this world softened her heart?
